Storage Area Network
Storage Area Network
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Overview
Our aging NAS setup based on a Linux NFS system needed to be replaced. After extensive research of the traditional fibre-channel and iSCSI solutions, we elected to go with the flexibility of ATA over Ethernet (AOE), wrapped up into a Linux appliance that can manage the storage and present volumes over AOE, iSCSI, GNBD, and NFS.
Connectivity
This diagram [TODO] shows several Coraid shelves on a private LAN, taken in by the storage appliance. The appliance serves as a volume manager. One of the main benefits of this setup is the ability to create RAID sets between separate shelves. Mirroring data
