Distributed Storage

Ceph: Distributed Storage

The world's leading software-defined storage system. Used by CERN, Bloomberg, Deutsche Telekom. Self-healing, auto-rebalancing, petabyte-scale. We deploy and manage Ceph since 2015.

Ceph Distributed Storage
The Problem

Traditional Storage is Expensive and Rigid

SAN, NAS, and vSAN solutions lock you into proprietary hardware with expensive licenses and limited scalability. When a disk or controller fails, you depend on the vendor for replacement. Your data hostage to a single manufacturer.

Hidden cost: Proprietary storage: 3-5x the cost per TB vs Ceph on commodity hardware. Plus mandatory support contracts.

The Solution: Ceph

Ceph is the open-source distributed storage platform that runs on standard hardware. Three storage types in one: block (RBD), filesystem (CephFS), objects (RGW/S3). Self-healing, automatic rebalancing, no single point of failure.

Result: 99.99% availability, petabyte scale, zero vendor lock-in, fraction of the cost of SAN/NAS.

Three in One

One Platform, Three Storage Types

Ceph replaces your SAN, NAS, and object storage with a single unified platform.

RBD

Block Storage

  • Virtual machine disks (KVM/Proxmox)
  • Thin provisioning, snapshots
  • Live resize without downtime
  • Replaces vSAN, iSCSI SAN
CephFS

POSIX Filesystem

  • Shared filesystem, multi-client
  • POSIX compliant, NFS replacement
  • Subvolumes, quotas, snapshots
  • Replaces NAS, NetApp, Windows DFS
RGW

Object Storage (S3)

  • S3-compatible API
  • Backups, media, logs, archives
  • Multi-site replication
  • Replaces AWS S3, MinIO
