Why Ceph Storage?

While your developers need a cloud storage solution, IT/OPS needs a unified pool of storage that can be scaled up by simply adding storage server nodes. Ceph is a unified, distributed storage system designed for excellent performance, reliability and scalability. It is an open source software project to build scale-out storage that meets all of the above requirements for both block and object storage for OpenStack. Ceph has built-in self-healing and can withstand underlying hardware failures; additional capacity can be added whenever required.

Mirantis Flow offers Ceph as a primary solution for all storage types, including image storage, ephemeral storage, persistent block storage, and object storage.

Scalable Cloud Native Storage

Scale-Out Storage

Scale-up storage no longer works, clouds require storage to scale‑out by simply adding nodes.

Self-Healing & Resilience in Software

Resilience in a cloud gets moved to the software layer as opposed to a hardware layer.

Automated

Storage in a cloud environment needs to be automated both for IT/OPS and for developers.

Open Source

Open source is a must in cloud environments. Open source ensures velocity, access to continuous innovation and no lock‑in.
