We’ve NEVER done this before… - Mother Vault Part 1 - JBOD
Linus Tech Tips・2 minutes read
The Vault system recovered most data from 2.4 petabytes of storage, transitioning to the new Mother Vault solution with three massive servers for improved capacity and efficiency. The JBOD configuration using Super Micro 947 HE1C-42K 05 JBOD with dual AMD EPYC Milan processors manages 70 drives in a RAID Z2 configuration but plans to switch to 10-drive RAID Z2s for increased speed.
Insights
- The Vault, an archival storage system, faced challenges but successfully recovered data from 2.4 petabytes of storage, now distributed across five aging servers.
- Transitioning to the Mother Vault solution involves deploying three massive servers, each capable of storing nearly two petabytes, aiming to streamline data management and increase storage capacity efficiently.
