<font size="2" face="sans-serif">Folks,</font><font size="3" face="serif"> <br>
</font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><br>
We're going through a naming transition and you will see some GPFS features now described under the codename Elastic Storage. Don't let the codename confuse you ... I'll let you all know the moment we get the final Family and Product naming straight. We are changing the name to reflect the fact that IBM is significantly increasing investment in this technology area and we will stretch GPFS out into the Cloud with Open Stack object support (e.g. SWIFT object store guide coming in June). In addition, GPFS will be available in the Softlayer Cloud Managed Service Offering catalog soon. You will be seeing a lot of new and exciting news on our roadmaps.</font><font size="3" face="serif"> <br>
</font><font size="2" face="sans-serif"><br>
New to GPFS 4.1 features include:</font><font size="3" face="serif"> </font>
<ul style="padding-left: 18pt"><font size="2" face="sans-serif">1. Native encryption and secure cryptography erase (data wiping) that is NIST Compliant and FIPS certified.</font><font size="3" face="serif"> </font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">2. GPFS client-side IBM Elastic Storage Flash caches that increase I/O performance up to 6x</font><font size="3" face="serif"> </font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">3. Active File Manager now supports parallel data transfers between sites, using multiple gateway nodes </font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">4. AFM now supports the GPFS protocol in addition to NFS protocol for file transfer</font><font size="3" face="serif"> </font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">5. Much simpler socket based pricing - no more PVUs. </font><font size="3" face="serif"> </font><br>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif">6. Lots of Usability improvements that include<br>
a. NFS Data Migration - Eases data transfer from NFS when upgrading hardware or buying a new system <br>
b AFM Optimization - Improved prefetch performance; support for the native GPFS protocol (described above)<br>
c. Backup/restore Enhancements - New Fileset Snapshot Restore tool; Backup utility enhancements<br>
d. FPO Improvements - Data locality aware file system recovery and improved performance</font></ul>
<font size="2" face="sans-serif"><br>
Not new, but included here as a reminder: OpenStack Havana includes a Cinder driver that gives architects access to GPFS features and capabilities.</font><font size="3" face="serif"> <br>

I can't seem to find a page that lists features that are new to 4.1 .<br>
Anyone have a link to such a page/presentation, etc?<br>

Thanks,<br>
