Swarm 16 Highlights
Info
Swarm combines the scalable software-defined object storage of Swarm Storage with the components to support diverse implementations:
Swarm Cluster Installer - Browser-based installation utility for vCenter environment
Swarm Cluster Services - Cluster for configuration and storage node deployment
Storage Cluster - Cluster for Swarm storage nodes
Elasticsearch - Cluster for search and historical metrics, with DataCore-specific customization via an RPM
Content Gateway - Gateway for cloud-based client access (S3)
Storage UI - Website for storage cluster management
Content UI - Website for cloud content management
SwarmFS - Optional connector for NFS clients
Swarm 16.1 Update 1 - Updated July 2024
Storage | SCS | ES, Search | Gateway | Content UI | Storage UI |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
16.1.4 | 1.7.2 | 7.17.14, 7.2.1 | 8.1.0 | 7.10 | 3.5 |
Performance Optimization: Optimized feeds processing and improved DELETE queries performance.
SCS Migration Support: Improved support for migrating from EL7 systems to EL8 (Rocky Linux or RHEL 8) to ensure nodes can properly boot after migration.
Memory and Disk Cache: Added into Gateway which improves listing performance for certain very constrained deployments.
Listing Performance: Gateway now supports using distinct indices per Castor domain, for improved listing performance.
Swarm 16.1.0 - Updated May 2024
Storage | SCS | ES, Search | Gateway | Content UI | Storage UI | SwarmFS |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
16.1.0 | 1.7.1 | 7.17.14, 7.2.1 | 8.0.4 | 7.10 | 3.5 | 3.2 |
Storage Recovery: Improved Swarm Storage recovery after an Elasticsearch outage.
Better Storage Booting: Improving booting Swarm Storage when there is a disk that the operating system is having trouble recognizing.
Multipart Uploads: Improved procedure for allowing multipart uploads during Swarm Storage upgrades from 15.x and earlier releases.
Object Locking: The retention duration for S3 object locking may be constrained by the storage administrator at the bucket and domain level.
Swarm 16 - Updated January 2024
Storage | SCS | SCI | ES, Search | Gateway | Content UI | Storage UI | SwarmFS |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
16.0 | 1.6 | 2.8 | 7.17.14, 7.2.0 | 8.0 | 7.10 | 3.5 | 3.2 |
Improved Space Recovery: New EC writes of versioned objects allow later deletes of those versions to have immediate segment removal, thus, allowing faster overall space recovery.
Fixed Issues: Fixed several issues potentially impacting Veeam or other backup use cases.
Improved Performance: A Gateway infrastructure refresh has led to significant performance gains.
Improved Resiliency: The Gateway recovers gracefully from cluster outages.
Minor Elasticsearch upgrade.
