IBM Storage Ceph Reviews & Product Details

Security and Scalability is one of the principle aspects for any Data Centers wordwide; thus, storage techs in means of Security and Scalability will normally have far-reaching consequences. Among many storage solutions these days is CEPH, which acts as a viable solution when it comes to migrate your Data Center securely. Her awe-inspiring features, such as being the speedstar of scalability and healing, makes her the front runner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really safe to replace the corrupted physical disks anytime. During the migration for grameenphone, there was ZERO storage downtime, Although mapping took some time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use the on-premises deployment model. I'd rate the solution seven out of ten as it had some limitations when it comes to disk I/O. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're definitely seeing cost savings since we've implemented it. We should have used the solution a long time ago as it appears to cost the business less money to run some of our data systems using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's one of the most advanced storage systems that is resilient and has good performance. I would suggest going for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are using some high-performance computes to do most of the telco tasks, for which backend storage is Ceph. It provides clusters of large storages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having unlimited storage (ie ease of adding extra capacity whenever needed), spread of data with high redundancy and availability, geographic separation of data copies (via rgw) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Best part of it is easily scalable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have recently not solved much with Ceph. Disk failure in Ceph is a real problem and can cause some amount of annoyance but with Ceph the failover to other disks is very seamless making is an painless as possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were creating SDS as a product based on CEPH. The main idea was to share multiple iSCSI targets via multiple paths. It was a production-ready solution with real customers, as a result we made hundreds of CEPH clusters (0.87-12.2) and collected an immense amount of experience in that. Let me share some examples:

* If you have a time difference of more than 30m, a CEPH cluster will get stuck.

* If you change time back (1 ms is enough), a CEPH cluster will crash.

* Nobody checks the crushmap instead of you. You have to understand what you are doing & how it is affecting a cluster.

* You can face tons of problems if you use a non-standard cluster name. i.e., after mounting, images are presented in the system using image name & pool name, it might be the same in another cluster, you will have a problem in that case.

* Before 12.2, the CEPH S3 implementation was extremely immature.

* OSDs start via udev trigger, the interesting thing is that you might face a situation where there is no network at this time.

* Import-diff allows you to import a delta from another image. As a result, you can lose data.

* It does not have an optimal recovery mechanism, as a result, you face sticking on client systems during recovery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're building a storage for our video workflow and for our private cloud. Ceph has all the features we need without any vendor lock-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you want to quick start with Ceph I recommend using this tutorial first:

We built 7 nodes high available cluster for the medicine application. It was pretty great when some of the nodes went offline it's still work great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You Love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now, one of our client isn't able to delete images but can create. Knowledge was my benefit since i get to know deeper with its architecture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
