Ceph storage: the smart solution for your business

Learn how Ceph storage can help your business, managing data efficiently and securely. Transform your storage infrastructure.

With this open source technology you will be able to realize unified storage with object, block and file interfaces.

You will be able to start from a single cluster made from common, easily available, and brand-neutral hardware components.

Features

CEPH STORAGE S3

It is possible to realize S3 and Swift storage using Ceph, which implements them natively and inherits all their special features.

S3 ON PREMISE

Cloud management costs and data sovereignty issues suggest bringing data storage back in-house. With Ceph, it is possible to implement S3 or Swift storage on premise.

COSTS UNDER CONTROL

The use of this technology combined with S3 allows for very high resilience, high capacity Ceph storage space at very low cost.

PETABYTE
OF DATA

Data lakes, business intelligence, and data-driven logic dictate an ever-increasing accumulation of data; a container that costs little, holds lots of data, and is resilient is therefore necessary.

COMMODITY HARDWARE

The Ceph system was created to be installed on commodity hardware, so it is possible to reuse servers that have been decommissioned or are no longer supported by well-known brands. We help you evaluate available hardware for reuse with a view to long-term, low-cost storage.

DATA LOSS IMPOSSIBLE

Designed to be able to handle large amounts of data securely, the Ceph storage defined software realizes inherently resilient storage; data loss is not an option.

SOFTWARE DEFINED STORAGE

Benefits of being software defined storage include scalability in terms of: Redundancy (data security) Disaster recovery (remote replication) Fault domain (disks, servers, ced, datacenter) and of course hot expansion of the usable space with data management policy adjustment.

ENTERPRISE SUPPORT UP TO 3RD LEVEL

First and second level support on Ceph for RedHat, Ubuntu or Suse systems is offered by ITServicenet, if needed it is possible to scale up to third level thanks to our partner Clyso.

IMMUTABILITY OF THE DATA

Taking advantage of the by design features of the data storage system offered by Ceph via the S3 protocol , Veeam has released the Veeam Backup & Replication v.12 solution that supports object locking.

ENTERPRISE BY DESIGN

Ceph was created for use in the business world because of its enterprise-grade reliability features, but it can also be used from a single node.

READY FOR CONTAINERS

In an increasingly containerized world, Ceph is ready. The system can be used to provide persistent Filesystem, S3 or Block storage to containerized systems orchestrated by Kubernetes.

Ceph storage use cases

Nextcloud and Ceph S3 alternative to Amazon S3

For those who want an on-premise cloud system Nextcloud is a winning choice, plus with its inherent tendency to adapt to the information system in which it is embedded Nextcloud offers numerous possibilities for linking to external repositories.

The necessary extension of storage space increasingly falls back on the S3 protocol. Ceph natively implements the S3 protocol and is therefore cloud ready by default. This combination is therefore ideal for those who want an on premise or private Ceph storage S3 alternative to Amazon S3.

Veeam + Ceph = unassailable data

With the combination of S3 technology implemented through our open source Ceph-based solutions and the most widely used backup system in the enterprise environment, Veeam Backup, it is possible to secure our data with Object Lock functionality.

This functionality makes the data immutable. Nothing and no one can change or delete it.

Corporate data will be in an impenetrable safe.

S3 and protection from ransomware

S3 natively implemented Object Lock. With Object Lock, the problem of ransomware attacks disappears because the objects themselves become immutable. A bucket with object lock enabled then becomes a descendant of the WORM (write-once-read-many) model.

Traditionally, when an object is updated, the existing copy of the object is completely replaced by the most recent upload. With object locking enabled, the most recent upload receives only one more tag (versionId) while the older object remains in place, also identified by a tag. The most recent upload becomes the current version of the object.

Ceph ‘s S3 API is compatible with the Amazon S3 API. Those who choose this solution therefore have extraordinary built-in functionality on his Ceph Storage.

Vmware and an high reliability Ceph storage

Can typical high reliability of storage system also be offered to hypervisors such as Vmware?

Ceph also implements NFS and iSCSI support typically used by Vmware, among others.

It is therefore possible to make an enterprise Ceph storage, built with open source technology, available to a commercial hypervisor such as Vmware.

A persistent Ceph storage for Kubernetes

In the world of microservices, Kubernetes leads the way. All Kubernetes-managed systems that need data persistence require a similarly distributed, scalable, secure, and high-performance storage system.

You can cover all the needs of the microservices world orchestrated by Kubernetes. Ceph deploys storage areas to Objects (S3 or Swift), to Filesystems (Nfs, Cephfs) and to Blocks (iScsi, Rbd).
