Soner BÜYÜKATALAY - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides efficient stability and archive storage features, but its maintenance process needs improvement
Red Hat Ceph Storage is difficult to maintain. We use CLI tools for maintenance, and the concept seems challenging. Additionally, it is difficult to expand the product due to balancing errors. It takes some time to re-balance the storage in case of server failure. They could improve the speed of the process.
