WHAT IS CEPH?
Ceph is a massively scalable, open source, software-defined storage system that runs on commodity hardware. It delivers object, block, and file system storage in one self-managing, self-healing platform with no single point of failure.
With its highly scalable, software-defined storage architecture, Ceph is an ideal replacement for legacy storage systems and provides a unified solution for cloud computing environments.
Supermicro object based scale-out storage C-Series are turnkey storage clusters designed and optimized for Ceph, an open-source, massively scalable, software-defined storage system. Built with enterprise class hardware, Supermicro object based scale-out storage C-Series delivers unified object, block and file storage with high performance, high scalability and high availability. Supermicro scale-out storage C-Series is ideal for OpenStack, CloudStack and common hypervisors environments. These fully integrated solutions include all hardware components from server to networking, cabinet and power distribution unit. It is fully tested and certified by Inktank.
Supermicro's C-Series architecture has been proven by extensive lab testing as well as production deployments. Supermicro worked closely with software partners to define and validate the most optimized hardware configuration with real application workloads. It takes the guess work out of designing and deploying a truly scalable storage solution that meets the most demanding enterprise IT and data center environments. Supermicro resellers and channel partners can take advantage of the turnkey systems and reference architecture to deploy Ceph based storage and infrastructure that scales efficiently.
