Does Ceph replace my array or vSAN?

Yes. Ceph is distributed storage with replication across nodes: it replaces a proprietary SAN or vSAN and scales horizontally by adding nodes, without the per-licence cost or the single point of failure of an array.

Replica 3 or erasure coding for Madrid?

It depends on the workload. Replica 3 gives maximum resilience and performance for hot data; erasure coding makes capacity cheaper for cold data in exchange for more CPU. We do the maths with your data and choose with judgement.

Can you operate it remotely from Catalonia?

Yes. Design, deployment and operation are done remotely with 24/7 monitoring; we are 491 km away and physical presence, if the hardware needs it, is planned in writing.

What happens if a node or a disk fails?

Ceph is designed for that: it replicates and self-heals. If a disk or a node fails, the data stays available and the cluster rebalances on its own. We watch it to act before a fault turns into an outage.

What is Ceph and why you need it

Ceph is the world's leading distributed storage system. Used by CERN, Bloomberg, Deutsche Telekom and thousands of companies. It provides block, object and file storage in a single unified platform with automatic self-healing.

RBD (Block)

Block storage for Proxmox/KVM VMs, equivalent to vSAN or iSCSI SAN. Thin provisioning, snapshots and clones.

CephFS (File)

Distributed POSIX file system for shares, NAS and workloads requiring concurrent access from multiple nodes.

RGW (Object)

S3/Swift compatible object storage for backups, archival, private CDN and cloud-native applications.

Our Ceph capabilities in Madrid

Design and sizing

Custom CRUSH maps, OSD tuning, erasure coding vs replication, NVMe/SSD/HDD performance tiers.

Deployment and migration

Bare metal installation or Proxmox-integrated. Migration from traditional SAN, NFS or local storage.

Monitoring and support

Grafana/Prometheus dashboard, proactive alerts, 24/7 support. We detect and resolve issues before they impact you.

Scaling and optimization

We scale your cluster with zero downtime. Add nodes, disks or pools hot. Automatic rebalancing.

We serve Madrid remotely 24/7 from our operations centre in Catalonia (Sant Fruitós de Bages); for on-site work we travel as agreed. We do not fake a local branch.

In Madrid, with IBEX headquarters, central government and the largest data-centre hub in southern Europe (Alcobendas, San Blas, Meco), storage stops being a detail once the business grows: a proprietary array that fills up, a vSAN tied to rising licences, or a NAS that becomes a single point of failure. Ceph solves that with distributed storage that replicates data across nodes, self-heals and scales by adding disks, not by swapping arrays.

Our base is in Sant Fruitós de Bages (Catalonia), 491 km away. We do not fake a branch office in Madrid: we design, deploy and operate the Ceph cluster remotely, with the same judgement we use to run our own platform. Replica 3 or erasure coding depending on your case —cost versus resilience versus performance— and the maths done before buying a single disk.

Ceph storage in Madrid: how we approach it

We size the cluster for your real workload: number of nodes, failure domains, dedicated network and replication policy. We do not sell "the maximum of everything": if replica 3 is enough, you do not pay for erasure coding. At 491 km we operate it with our own monitoring (Zabbix) and alerts that matter.

Ceph is the foundation of our production infrastructure, so the tuning —PGs, CRUSH map, recovery— we do with real experience, not by reading the manual. It integrates with Proxmox as a vSAN replacement and with your existing servers, and we hand it over documented, with an owner and an update window.

And once the cluster is running we do not leave it at your door: we operate it, patch it in an agreed window and watch it, so that growing capacity means adding nodes and not rebuilding the whole architecture.
