The Best Decisions are Based on Data
Quobyte’s policy-based data management is highly automated and puts you in the driver’s seat. The built-in analytics features enable you to make smart, informed decisions.
Automated Policy-based Data Management
All data management in Quobyte is controlled through the policy engine – your control center for your data. Policies define where data is stored, when and which data is tiered to more cost-effective media, or the life cycle of files (immutability, auto expiration), just to name a few.
With Quobyte’s policy engines, you can define policies at any level – from entire tenants down to specific file types owned by a user. UI support ensures that managing the policies is a breeze.
The policy engine is a single place to configure – and also non-disruptively reconfigure – your cluster: Implement hardware isolation for tenants, workloads, or users. Automate tiering to HDD or QLC. Ensure compliance with HIPAA, GPDR, or MPAA rules with placement, isolation, encryption, immutability, and automatic deletion.
Fast File Metadata Queries
Quickly find files that match your queries across all volumes instead of waiting for a slow find with the Quobyte File Query Engine. Quobyte’s ultra-fast key-value-store databases for metadata run queries in parallel across all your metadata servers. Your queries always run on the latest data and there are no resources wasted with a copy of the metadata or an extra database.
With the File Query Engine, you can select files based on a wide range of attributes like size, age, last access, file name regular expression or glob matches, or custom metadata stored in extended attributes and via S3 custom metadata.
Realtime Performance Analytics
See who’s doing what in your cluster. Quobyte’s native client collects details that help you understand your user’s workloads and optimize performance and hardware based on IO patterns. Easily spot “bad actors” or sub-optimal applications.
For HPC clusters Quobyte aggregates the performance of individual processes of a Slurm or PBS job across the entire compute cluster.
Analyze performance issues quickly with Quobyte’s detailed statistics for each individual file: IOPS, IO depth, throughput, file locks, access patterns, prefetching, and more.
Volume Data Reports
Get reports for your entire cluster, a tenant, or a single volume and understand data distribution, age, and more. Real-time usage in the dashboard keeps you up to date with capacity and file count by users, group, tenant, or storage tier.
Prometheus Monitoring and Grafana Dashboards
All Quobyte services and clients have built-in Prometheus exporters that provide a wealth of metrics around latencies, file system operations, network statistics, and more.
The Grafana dashboard provides admins and managers with a quick overview of the system state, long term trends as well as the ability to zoom into performance metrics to quickly identify issues.
API First
Everything in Quobyte can be done via the API: provision volumes, change quotas, create new policies, or retrieve usage statistics, just to name a few.
We’ve designed Quobyte with API first, meaning that management tools like the Quobyte webconsole or the CLI qmgmt communicate with your cluster through the public Quobyte API.
