Hi all,
We're exploring solutions to offload large volumes of data (on the order
of petabytes) from our NetApp all-flash storage to our more
cost-effective, HDD-based Ceph storage cluster, based on criteria such
as: last access time older than X years.
Ideally, we would like to leave behind a 'stub' or placeholder file on
the NetApp side to preserve the original directory structure and
potentially enable some sort of transparent access or recall if needed.
This kind of setup is commonly supported by solutions like
DataCore/FileFly, but as far as we can tell, FileFly doesn’t support
Ceph as a backend and instead favors its own Swarm object store.
Has anyone here implemented a similar tiering/archive/migration solution
involving NetApp and Ceph?
We’re specifically looking for:
* Enterprise-grade tooling
* Stub file support or similar metadata-preserving offload
* Support and reliability (given the scale, we can’t afford data loss
or inconsistency)
* Either commercial or well-supported open source solutions
Any do’s/don’ts, war stories, or product recommendations would be
greatly appreciated. We’re open to paying for software or services if it
brings us the reliability and integration we need.
Thanks in advance!
MJ
