2014 Conference
  
  
  
  
  
  
  MSST (2014) will dedicate a full week to computer-storage technology, including a day of tutorials, two days of invited papers, and two days of peer-reviewed research papers. The conference will be held on the beautiful campus of Santa Clara University, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
  
  The conference will be technically co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, and papers will be indexed in IEEE's 
Xplore Digital Library.

Program
  
  
  
  Prerequisites:
    — Knowledge of storage concepts
    — Basic tcp/ip understanding
    — Basic Linux admin and command line
    
    This course provides a full and concise introduction of the Ceph storage system and a simplified hands-on experience installing and configuring a Ceph Storage Cluster.After completing this course, the learner will have an overall understanding of the Ceph distributed storage system, and its major components: the Ceph Storage Cluster (RADOS), the Ceph Object Gateway (RGW), the Ceph Block Device (RBD), and the Ceph File System (CephFS). 
  Module 1: Introduction
  Module 2: Ceph history and components
  Module 3: Ceph data placement (CRUSH & pools)
  Module 4: Ceph Object Storage (RADOS)
  Module 5: Ceph Block Storage (aka Rados BlockDevice)
  Module 6: Ceph File System (CephFS)
  Module 7: Creating a Ceph Cluster
  Kinetic Open Storage Tutorial
   Learn how to download, install, write programs, and modify the Seagate Open Storage solution. Test against the simulator and drives. Finally, see how Kinetic can be used for Ceph Object storage. The requirements of this tutorial is a laptop that can run Java and, for the Ceph demonstration, a laptop that can run a Linux virtual machine.
