	\frametitle{How to make a \underline{stable} system}

	Enterprise-grade systems typically employ:
	\vspace{1em}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item RAID
		\item Redundant power grid + UPS
		\item Redundant Internet connections
		\item Low-latency links
		\item ... 
	\end{itemize}
	\vspace{1em}
	$\to$ it's costly and only worth it at DC scale
\end{frame}

		Instead, we use:

\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{Distributed file systems are slow}
	File systems are complex, for example:
	\vspace{1em}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item Concurrent modification by several processes
			\vspace{1em}
		\item Folder hierarchies
			\vspace{1em}
		\item Other requirements of the POSIX spec
	\end{itemize}
	\vspace{1em}
	Coordination in a distributed system is costly

	\vspace{1em}
	Costs explode with commodity hardware / Internet connections\\
	{\small (we experienced this!)}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
	\frametitle{A simpler solution: object storage}
	Only two operations:
	\vspace{1em}
	\begin{itemize}
		\item Put an object at a key
			\vspace{1em}
		\item Retrieve an object from its key
	\end{itemize}
	\vspace{1em}
	{\footnotesize (and a few others)}

	\vspace{1em}
	Sufficient for many applications!

			data quantities not well balanced between nodes
