BlockBridge and MSA sas questions

[petruzzo]

Hi to all
I must change same infrastructures.
Now I have a 4 server cluster connected to the storage, an MSA, in sas.
I want to try keep the storage system without add the overhead of CEPH.
Read online a find Blockbridge and I understand that work in this scenario.
Someones use it and can tell me if my idea is wronge?
thank to all

you can use you MSA san directly, through iscsi or fiber channel.

But, currently, no snapshot or thin privisionning is available.

Hi @petruzzo,

Yes, you can front-end existing SSD SAN storage with Blockbridge. However, depending on the investment in your MSA, it might not make sense from an ROI perspective. If you are budget-constrained, have low capacity requirements, or are using HDDs, the most cost-effective solution for MSA is to use it directly with Proxmox.

I have a full SSD MSA in the actual deploy.
I need a performance effective solution with the features that I have with other shared storage.
CEPH or ZFS over iSCSI are less performances of direct SAS disk.
