SESAME targets innovations around three central elements in 5G: the placement of network intelligence and applications in the network edge through Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) and Edge Cloud Computing; the substantial evolution of the Small Cell concept, already mainstream in 4G but expected to deliver its full potential in the challenging high dense 5G scenarios; […]
In the Linux world, a popular approach to build highly available clusters is with a set of software tools that include pacemaker (as resource manager) and corosync (as the group communication system), plus other libraries on which they depend and some configuration utilities. On Illumos (and in our particular case, OmniOS), the ihac project is abandoned and I couldn’t find any […]

Ceph and Swift have been deployed and compared as object storage systems and […]
When setting up a cluster with ceph-deploy, just after the ceph-deploy osd activate phase and the distribution of keys, the OSDs should be both “up” and “in” the cluster. One thing that is not mentioned in the quick-install documentation with ceph-deploy or the OSDs monitoring or troubleshooting page (or at least I didn’t find it), is that, upon (re-)boot, mounting […]
