Why Today’s Cloud & Hyperscale Storage Topologies use SAS: A Look Into Meta’s Grand Canyon

Abstract

Hyperscale deployments are using Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) today, to solve capacity and cost challenges within their large-scale storage infrastructure. Specific features within SAS address these problems and offer developers real solutions. This presentation will discuss how SAS addresses the scaling, reliability, cost and flexibility requirements of modern hyperscale architectures and show how this maps to Meta's Grand Canyon architecture.
