XOSAN: hyperconverged storage for XenServer available
-
XOSAN Beta
The beta of XOSAN is now open! It's really easy to participate, just follow our instruction on the blog post: Register to XOSAN Beta
What's XOSAN?
XOSAN is the way to use each local disk of your hosts to create a shared storage, like VSAN of VMWare. No SPOF, fast, reliable, easy to deploy. That's the goal.
Phase I
This is the first step of the beta. Check what's next:
- Phase II: introduce flexibility (remove/replace failed nodes or extend/grow with new nodes)
- Phase III: performance tuning, cache system (HDD+SSD), multi-disks per hosts support
All along, we'll ask testers to provide benchmarks to eliminate non-satisfactory cases (eg too slow to be in production).
Upgrade your XOA
Six months ago, we released our new XO virtual Appliance (XOA). Now, all new updates will break your old install. So you must use this new XOA right now.
If you upgraded before, there is a procedure to run on your old XOA to make it work back for making the transition.
XenServer 7.1
Another big news: XenServer 7.1 (code name Ely) is now available. XOA already fully support it. We'll create a blog post soon to explain what to expect and how to upgrade. Stay in touch!
