PSS offers the following benefits:
  • Use storage space more efficiently.
  • Read objects with greater efficiency: single seek in most cases.
  • Write objects with greater efficiency: data is appended to the end of one of a fixed number of files that PSS maintains.
  • Improve IOPS and lowered latency. In most cases, no actual I/O occurs when trying to read non-existent slices.
  • Reduce the burden on underlying file system.
  • Improve listing operations in both speed and system resources utilized.
  • Perform at the same level for long periods at a wide range of fills due to the reduced load on underlying drives.
