Does LINBIT SDS Support Encryption?
Yes, LUKS keys can be used to encrypt the storage at rest.
How often are new versions released?
Typically every 1-2 months.
What levels of support are available?
We offer 3 levels of support: Basic: Business hours, email-only support, with a 2-business day maximum initial response time Plus: Business hours, email or phone support, with a 4-hour maximum initial emergency response time, and an 8-hour maximum non-emergency initial response time Enterprise: 24×7, 365-day support, with 1-hour emergency response time, and a 4-hour non-emergency […]
What is the process for upgrading LINBIT SDS?
LINBIT SDS is comprised of a control-plane and data-plane, which can be updated independently. Updates to LINSTOR (the control plane) can happen without impacting applications access to existing volumes, during the upgrade new volumes will not be provisioned until after the upgrade completes. An upgrade to the data-plane requires workloads to be migrated away from […]
Is data consistency enforced in LINBIT SDS?
If you use the replication features of LINBIT SDS (DRBD), then yes. DRBD storage replication is fully synchronous by default. Volumes are RWO (read write once). Quorum and internal protocols determine whether or not a specific replica may be promoted (become RW).
Does LINBIT SDS support TLS 1.2 or higher?
Yes, LINBIT SDS supports the latest version of TLS.
Does LINBIT SDS support AES 256?
Yes, LINBIT SDS supports any algorithm LUKS supports.
Does LINBIT SDS support proper authentication/authorization at pod level, cluster level, storage level?
Yes, all access is controlled through standard Kubernetes user access controls.
Which SDS solution has the world record for IOPS?
LINSTOR achieved 14.8 million IOPS on a 12 node cluster built from standard off-the-shelf Intel servers. This is (or at least was) the highest storage performance reached by a hyper-converged system on the market, for this hardware basis.
Does LINBIT SDS scale vertically and horizontal?
Yes, you can add more physical nodes with storage. This will increase the capacity of hyper-converged worker nodes. You can also add additional storage to existing nodes to either create new storage-pools or expand existing storage-pools which can increase performance and/or capacity.
