High Performance Ceph for Hyper-converged Telco NFV Infrastructure

The next wave of transformation for Telco Cloud is Hyper-converged NFV infrastructure (NFVi) which is expected to bring cost efficiency and scale.  Storage is a key piece of any Hyper-converged platform and new solid-state storage technologies such as Intel Optane, are bringing a big shift in compute vs storage budget balance in Hyper-converged platforms.  Intel and its Telco partners are collaborating on developing new ways to leverage these technologies in Ceph to enable a low latency, high performance OpenStack platform for Telco NFV applications.  Join the team to hear about our contributions to Ceph and Openstack-HELM and take away the basics of tuning Hyper-converged Ceph.


What can I expect to learn?

Join the team to hear about our contributions to Ceph and Openstack-HELM and take away the basics of tuning Hyper-converged Ceph.  We’ll cover:

NFV Infrastructure, Hyper-convergence, Ceph block storage

Performance insights gathered working on Hyper-converged Ceph POC

  • Hyper-converged considerations for Ceph – resource partitioning, NUMA
  • RDMA-based Ceph messenger for lower Ceph CPU utilization, improved latency
  • Intel Optane P4800X for improving tail latency
  • Performance results, VM scalability and QoS insights
