solid state storage for rrds with cacti

Post by heybigben »

Hi,

Anyone using solid state storage for housing all the rrd's with cacti? We've got a mid size cacti installation and to help improve our system performance and decrease i/o I was considering moving all of our rrd's to something like an ioDrive from HP (would fit nicely in our blade) but with 5 minute updates on thousands of small files I am concerned about the lifespan (even with single level cell) of such a card. Anyone have good or bad experiences with solid state drives for rrd with cacti? How long have your devices been in production? Are you using boost and/or spine as well?

Have it at a few of my customers. As long as you stick to the SLC versions and avoid the MLC versions you will get an MTBF of about 51 years. I think MLC would be a big mistake.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?
