Enabling Technology. The following well-known technologies have been selected to manage the PARTHENOS e-infrastructure hardware resources: a. Ceph, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, has been selected as block storage since it is Amazon S3 compatible and OpenStack Swift compatible, it is completely distributed, and it may even use disposable server hardware; b. Openstack, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, has been selected as cloud-computing software platform. It uses Ceph as storage; c. ManageIQ, ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, has been selected to manage quotas, permissions, production vs devel environments. The Ceph Storage offers object, block, and file storage under a unified system. It has been designed to provide excellent performance, reliability and scalability. It supports rapid provisioning of massively scalable cloud storage and enables computation intensive workloads. It provides access to the storage via application written in Java, Python, Ruby, C, etc. It scales to Petabytes and it offers linear scaling with linear performance increase. easily serve more or fewer tasks – issued either by users or by other services - on the fly by just spinning up more service instances. The ManageIQ open source platform is a management framework for infrastructure integrating resources from several data centres. It has been designed to manage small and large infrastructure, and supports private data centers exploiting virtual machines and even public clouds. ManageIQ supports continuously discover of the latest state of the infrastructure, simplifies the enforcement of policies across the environment, and it optimizes the performance and utilization of the hardware resources.
