FreeBSD based high density filers
Study and design of the storage backing the Gandi hosting services
Gandi has been replacing its old Nexenta filers with new one FreeBSD based. This talk will expose the reason of this choice, the policy regarding patches and contributions, the design of the new filers and the setup of a regression test lab.
For many years, all storage backing Gandi services has been provided by customized Nexenta based filers. For various reasons that will be exposed it has been decided to replace them with new ones.
A study was made comparing the different possible candidates: Illumos based OS, FreeBSD, ZoL, resulting in the choice of FreeBSD.
The talk will cover the design of the new filers, the migration process, the patches and contributions that where made to FreeBSD.
