Sent by: gpfsug-discuss-bounces at gpfsug.org
Folks,
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.
New to GPFS 4.1 features include:
1. Native encryption and secure cryptography erase (data wiping) that is
NIST Compliant and FIPS certified.
2. GPFS client-side IBM Elastic Storage Flash caches that increase I/O
performance up to 6x
3. Active File Manager now supports parallel data transfers between
sites, using multiple gateway nodes
4. AFM now supports the GPFS protocol in addition to NFS protocol for
file transfer
5. Much simpler socket based pricing - no more PVUs.
6. Lots of Usability improvements that include
a. NFS Data Migration - Eases data transfer from NFS when upgrading
hardware or buying a new system
b AFM Optimization - Improved prefetch performance; support for
the native GPFS protocol (described above)
c. Backup/restore Enhancements - New Fileset Snapshot Restore tool;
Backup utility enhancements
d. FPO Improvements - Data locality aware file system recovery and
improved performance
Not new, but included here as a reminder: OpenStack Havana includes a
Cinder driver that gives architects access to GPFS features and
capabilities.

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

I guess you can check the "what's new" on the GPFS docs:
