Object Storage Strategies
.pull-left[ Hierarchical
- Choose between options based on priority
- Always uses first (unless max_pct_full + too full)
]
.pull-right[ Distributed
- Randomly choose between several storage options
- Can fill up at same rate, or different (weighting) ]
Key Points
- The distributed object store configuration allows you to easily expand that storage that is attached to your Galaxy.
- You can move data around without affecting users.
