The ability to provide block storage and object storage from the same storage cluster is very valuable for us.
Red Hat Ceph Storage provides block and object storage, enhancing flexibility for diverse needs. It offers high reliability on commodity hardware, ensuring cost-effectiveness and performance. Data redundancy safeguards information, while distributed architecture simplifies integration. High availability keeps systems operational. However, Ceph faces challenges like network failures, high CPU demands, and incomplete documentation. Geo-replication and recovery times need improvement, and replication stability decreases below recommended settings, complicating installation and setup.
