SUSE Enterprise Storage

SUSE Enterprise Storage

An intelligent software-defined storage solution, powered by

Ceph technology, that enables IT to transform their enterprise
storage infrastructure to deliver highly scalable and resilient
storage that is cost-efficient and able to seamlessly adapt to
changing business and data demands.

SUSE Enterprise Storage
Bridge to the Future
Today’s Data Center
• Traditional data center with storage silos
• Disparate network, compute and storage setup
• Data center disruptions because of regularly
changing technologies
SUSE Enterprise
Storage is the first
Tomorrow’s Data Center
step in a software-
• Software-defined data center
defined future.
• Agile infrastructure with support for DevOps model
through automation
• Simplified data center management
• Increased speed of delivery

Why is SUSE Enterprise Storage Different?

5
What Makes SUSE
Enterprise Storage
Unique?
OpenATTIC
• GUI based configuration and management
• Graphical performance and capacity metrics
• Ability to drill down to per node performance

DeepSea Deployment Tool

• Collection of SALT files for deploying
SUSE Enterprise Storage
• 10 node or 10000 node fixed number
of steps to deploy
• Deployment of Prometheus, Grafana
and openATTIC

How to Deploy SUSE Enterprise Storage

7
Steps to Deploy with DeepSea
salt-run state.orch ceph.stage.0 (prep)
salt-run state.orch ceph.stage.1 (discovery)
Edit proposal(s) and policy.cfg file
salt-run state.orch ceph.stage.2 (configure)
salt-run state.orch ceph.stage.3 (deploy core)
salt-run state.orch ceph.stage.4 (deploy iscsi,
rgw, mds, etc)
