ALUA stands for Asymmetric Logical Unit Access and is the standardized set of functionality that enables a target to present multiple paths and to communicate back to the initiator. The particular implementation used for certification utilizes the LIO kernel features and enables SUSE Enterprise Storage to act as an ALUA target. These gateways translate between RBD and iSCSI, thus enabling clients that lack support for the more robust RBD, to access data stored on a SUSE Enterprise Storage cluster. In relation to SUSE Enterprise Storage, iSCSI is made available by means of one or more protocol gateways. This protocol provides an option that is easier to consume for many end users than the competing Fibre Channel protocol due to iSCSI’s use of standardized ethernet hardware and topologies. The iSCSI protocol provides SCSI commands and data transfers over a network interface. Solution: SUSE Enterprise Storage provides a single storage cluster that can service both the higher performance requirements of virtual machines and the lower performance requirements of Object Storage



Issue: Customer needs storage with reasonable performance for virtual machines in addition to object storage. Solution: SUSE Enterprise Storage provides erasure-coded pools with exported iSCSI targets yielding low $/GB with adequate performance. Issue: Customer needs scalable, yet affordable storage for golden images, archive images, and software repositories. VMware ESXi provides an Enterprise-Ready Virtualization infrastructure suite that is widely deployed. With minimal acquisition cost, management cost, and upgrade cost, SUSE Enterprise Storage is the lowest-price solution for enterprise archive and backup implementations Open source software, for minimal software cost and maximum flexibilityĪ self-managing, self-healing architecture for minimal management costĪ flexible, cluster-based design for graceful and inexpensive upgrade and innovative licensing model that avoids per-gigabyte storage charges, so you won’t owe more for saving more data. Commodity hardware for minimal hardware cost
