Unified Storage with OpenStack Ceph



Open Stack Ceph Storage is a massively scalable, programmable storage platform that supports cloud infrastructure, media repositories, backup and restore systems, and data lakes. It can free you from the expensive lock of proprietary, hardware-based storage solutions; consolidate labor and storage costs into a single versatile solution; and introduce cost-effective scalability that modern workloads require.

OpenStack Cloud platforms is now becoming popular for enterprise computing. Enterprise customers are embracing OpenStack Cloud to lower their costs: License costs and eliminates the need for dedicated storage systems. From an enterprise workload perspective, there are multiple storage requirements: 

 1. High performance Block Storage
 2. High throughput File Storage
 3. Cost Effective Object Storage
 
In OpenStack
, Ceph storage provides a unified storage interface for Block, File & Object Storage. This plus the ability to scale out to 1000’s of nodes makes Ceph storage a preferred SDS solution when implementing OpenStack Cloud Platform.  
 When OpenStack Solution is built on Scaleout servers like HPE Apollo platform which provides highest storage & compute density per rack, the cost economics of an on premise solution beats a public cloud offerings.
 
OpenStack
Ceph Storage is designed to meet the following requirements:
 1. High availability
 2. Security
 3. Cost Effective
 4. Scalability
 5. Configurable
 6. Performance
 7. Usability

 8. Measurable
