[ome-users] Omero binary repository layout

[Kees Machielsen]

Hello Paulo,

We have developed a Storage Manager product for Omero.
Please see www.omerostoragemanager.com

It may help you to archive inactive data from your primary storage to secondary storage. 

Let me know if this is something interesting for you.

Best regards, 

Kees Machielsen

Subject: [ome-users] Omero binary repository layout

Hi,

While planning our deployment of Omero using AFS storage, we came across a space limit for volumes. It's not a problem if there are subfolders, because those can be mounted in different AFS volumes, but one single folder cannot store more than 2 TB of data. Is this compatible with how the Omero binary repository works? I noticed that in our small test installation, using local disks, there are lots of files stored in the Files and Pixels folders, in a flat layout. Does this mean that if we have more than 2 TB of images, they will all be  stored in the same directory? If that is the case, we will have to rethink our deployment strategey.

On a related note, do you have any recommendations regarding storage scalability? How large are current Omero installations, and how are people dealing with increasing datasets?

Thanks,
Paulo
