Ceph – Product Review

Ceph is an open source, distributed data storage platform created for highly scalable unified storage. Ceph is a software defined system that is capable of supporting block, file, and object storage, while running on commodity hardware. There is a supported version of Ceph called Red Hat Ceph Storage 5 in addition to the open source version. This version of Ceph as been transitioned to IBM and is supported by IBM. The name for the IBM supported version is IBM Storage Ceph.

Ceph supports S3 and Swift REST-based APIs for object storage along with NFS 3 and 4.2 for files and iSCSI via a gateway for block access to form a unified storage system.

A Ceph storage cluster is based upon RADOS, which stands for Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store. Ceph storage clusters are made up of Ceph Monitors and Ceph OSD Daemons. Ceph Monitors are used to keep a copy of the cluster map, while Ceph OSD Deamons are used to check the status of OSDs (Object Storage Devices), and return this status back to the monitors.

Running on top of the RADOS layer is LIBRADOS which consists of libraries capable of interacting with the objects in RADOS. LIBRADOS enables the use of RADOS gateway for object data, RBD (RADOS Block Device) for block support, and CephFS file system for file support.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
