RAID AID: The Analytical Interface Dashboard for ZFS Lustre

Rich Brueckner at InsideHPC discusses the RAID Inc Lustre-tuned cross-platform dashboard. This file system agnostic analytical tool enables centralized self control over the full range of computing resources, such as Lustre ZFS and Intel® Enterprise Edition for Lustre. Lustre Over ZFS storage solutions offer greater performance for HPC technical computing, cloud, big data center and high density elastic storage. Lustre with ZFS brings a robust, scalable file system with features not available in other file systems. ZFS enables economical storage for Lustre solutions. RAID AID provides a comprehensive set of metrics using open-source protocols to measure, monitor and alert for example, monitoring IOPS, latency, capacity for mission critical applications. The AID tool intelligently provides a real-time optimized pipeline in which overlapping workloads run efficiently, reliably, and at the lowest-practical cost.
