| Abstract | SURFnet (the Dutch NREN) is expecting a storage explosion, because of new services they would like to offer (for example SURFmedia). Also does SURFnet like to offer a system to its participants to exchange storage using the SURFnet network. Both problems need a new and innovative storage solution, working on the high bandwidth but a geographical disperse network. The new system needs to be scalable, durable, high available, have a performance comparable to a traditional SAN/NAS solution, dynamic and cost effective. In this project two available open source tools are selected (from all available tools), Coda and Lustre. Tests show that Coda and Lustre perform good when there are no problems on the network (latency or failure). The performance of Lustre drops when latency is introduced while Coda remains performing at the same level (this because of its cache). Lustre does not have support for replication. Two problems of Coda are: updating big files which causes the whole file to be uploaded, and the hard configuration. Based on the test results (which |
