The following graph shows the whole Synnefo architecture and how it interacts


  		





  55
  
  
    
with multiple Ganeti clusters.

The following graph shows the whole Synnefo stack and how it interacts with


  		





  
  56
  
    
multiple Ganeti clusters and the storage backends. Synnefo decouples the cloud


  		





  
  57
  
    
from the cluster layer enhancing robustness, stability and ease of


  		





  
  58
  
    
administration. As shown in the figure below, Synnefo sits on the cloud layer:

Synnefo manages multiple Ganeti clusters and different kind of storage backends


  		





  
  65
  
    
such as a Ceph/RADOS cluster or an NFS-based backend.

For an extensive view of all components and APIs between them, please take a


  		





  
  68
  
    
look at the Admin Guide's :ref:`corresponding figure <syn+archip>`.

Synnefo also supports RADOS as an alternative storage backend for


  		





  62
  
  
    
Files/Images/VM disks. :ref:`Here <syn+archip+rados>` is a graph that shows


  		





  63
  
  
    
Synnefo running with two different storage backends.
