Ceph is software-defined
Storage infrastructure architects increasingly favor Software-defined Storage (SDS) solutions. SDS offers an attractive solution to organizations with a large investment in legacy storage who are not getting the flexibility and scalability they need for evolving needs. Ceph is a true SDS solution:
- Open source software
- Runs on commodity hardware
- No vendor lock in
- Low cost per GB
An SDS solution provides much-needed flexibility with respect to hardware selection. Customers can choose commodity hardware from any manufacturer and are free to design a heterogeneous hardware solution that evolves over time to meet their specific needs and constraints. Ceph's software-defined storage built from commodity hardware flexibly provides agile enterprise storage features from the software layer.
In Chapter 3, Hardware and Network Selection we'll explore a variety of factors that influence the hardware choices you make for your Ceph deployments.
