Today we continue discussing the best practice from storage engineering:

583) Storage products have a tendency to accumulate user artifacts such as rules, containers and settings. It should be easy to migrate and upgrade them.

584) The migration mentioned above is preferable to be done via user friendly mechanism because they matter more to the user than to the system.

585) There are several times that customers will run into issues with upgrade and migration. Unfortunately, there is usually no dry run for the instance. One of the best techniques is to plan the upgrade.

586) Storage products embrace compute as much as the services are needed over the raw storage but the line of separation between compute and storage remains clear in solutions that use storage. The purer the compute over the storage, the better for the storage.

587) The dependency of storage on healthy nodes is maintained with the help of detection and remedial measures. If the administrator does not have to rush to replace a bad unit, it saves time and cost.

588) There are notions of SaaS, PaaS and, IaaS with clear separation of concerns in the cloud. The same applies to a storage layer in terms of delegating to dedicated products.

589) The organization in the cloud does not limit the number and type of services available from the cloud. The same holds true for the feature as services within a storage product.

590) The benefits that come with the cloud can also come from a storage product.
