Building NDStore through Hierarchical Storage Management and Microservice Processing


Abstract

We describe NDStore, a scalable multi-hierarchical data storage deployment for spatial analysis of neuroscience data on the AWS cloud. The system design is inspired by the requirement to maintain high I/O throughput for workloads that build neural connectivity maps of the brain from peta-scale imaging data using computer vision algorithms. We store all ourdata on the AWS object store S3 to limit our deployment costs S3 serves as our base-tier of storage. Redis, an in-memory key-value engine, is used as our caching tier. The data is dynamically moved between the different storage tiers based on user access.All programming interfaces to this system are RESTful web-services. We include a performance evaluation that shows thatour production system provides good performance for a variety of workloads by combining the assets of multiple cloud services.
