Ceph

Design, integrate and operate distributed storage with Ceph for private cloud and cloud-native platforms.

Why Ceph

Distributed storage for modern infrastructure.

Ceph provides block, file and object storage through a distributed architecture designed to scale across infrastructure nodes. We help teams design, integrate and operate Ceph as part of private cloud and cloud-native platforms.

01

Distributed Architecture

Distribute storage across multiple nodes and devices without relying on a traditional centralized storage architecture.

02

Block Storage

Provide RADOS Block Device storage for virtual machines, databases and other workloads requiring persistent block storage.

03

File Storage

Provide shared file storage through CephFS for workloads that require distributed filesystem access.

04

Object Storage

Expose object storage through the Ceph Object Gateway for applications and infrastructure services requiring object APIs.

05

Platform Integration

Integrate Ceph with platforms such as OpenStack, Kubernetes and OpenShift using native storage interfaces and ecosystem tooling.

06

Scalable Operations

Expand storage capacity and performance as infrastructure requirements change while maintaining a common storage architecture.

Ceph Services

From storage architecture to day-two operations.

We support Ceph across architecture, deployment, platform integration, troubleshooting, lifecycle management and production operations.
