In general, embodiment relate to a method for provisioning a plurality of client application nodes in a distributed system using a management node, the method comprising: creating a file system in a namespace; associating the file system with a scale out volume; mounting the file system on a metadata node in the distributed system, wherein mounting the file system comprises storing a scale out volume record of the scale out volume; storing file system information for the file system in a second file system on the management node, wherein the file system information specifies the file system and the metadata node on which the file system is mounted; wherein storing the file system information triggers distribution of the file system information to at least a portion of a plurality of client application nodes.

Methods and systems for seamlessly provisioning client application nodes in a distributed system

A method for managing client resources by receiving a desired load factor representing the number of instructions being executed per second (IOPS) to implement an application on a set of cores of a client device, based on the desired load factor and a latency factor, determining a maximum number of IOPS that can be executed by the cores of the client device before reaching system saturation, determining a pattern of the IOPS being executed on the set of cores based on historical IOPS information for the latency factor, and based on the historical IOPS information, determining to execute the IOPS on a subset of the set of cores.

Greener software defined storage stack

A technique for managing data storage provides multiple physical computing machines and block storage arranged in a NAS (network attached storage) cluster. The physical computing machines run NAS servers, with each NAS server including an FSDB (file system database) that identifies a set of file systems that belong to the NAS server. LUNs (Logical UNits) in the block storage provide backing store for the set of file systems of each NAS server. The NAS cluster manages access to a file system namespace for a set of file systems, including for example Distributed File System (DFS) typically accessed using the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, by clients of different types, including for example clients using the Network File System (NFS) protocol.

Managing file system namespace in network attached storage (NAS) cluster

A device for elevating articles for storage within a garage having a floor and a ceiling structure comprising an elongated, generally horizontally disposed support having hooks positioned thereon for supporting the articles to be stored thereon. A winch is secured to the support for raising and lowering the support from a position adjacent the garage floor to a position above the garage floor so that the articles are stored adjacent the ceiling of the garage to enable the garage to be used for its intended purpose.
