“The Sum of the Parts is Greater Than the Whole” – when it comes to Object Storage
Posted by Christopher Cambridge on September 23, 2020

At Cloudian, we often tell customers that the secret to maximum performance is parallelism or multi-threading. The reality is that a single TCP stream to an S3 object storage system cannot take full advantage of the available bandwidth between the client and the Hyperstore cluster. While a Hyperstore cluster is capable of efficiently handling a large number of simultaneous uploads, a single upload on its own is far from optimal. In some workflows, it is possible to send multiple objects simultaneously; however, in many instances, users still need a way to optimize the performance of a single file upload or outgoing data stream.

Posted by Simon Johnson on August 28, 2020

One of the key features of Kubernetes is the ability to dynamically scale your pods to the workload demand.  These Pods are often self contained micro-services that have a specific job to do.  But what if you want equally convenient access to similarly isolated storage?  That’s just the problem the recently released Cloudian S3 Operator aims to solve!
