Ceph is a distributed storage system designed for scalability, high availability, and data durability. It manages data across clusters using robust replication strategies and a well-defined consistency model. This article talks about Ceph’s replication strategies, write processes, consistency guarantees, and failure recovery mechanisms.

Discover how machine learning and data analytics teams could accelerate training, inference, and data pipelines using OpenMetal’s infrastructure. This example setup combines a Large v3 Cloud Core with high-capacity Storage v3 servers, NVMe speed, and 95th percentile egress pricing.

The OpenMetal Large v1 Storage Server features dual Intel® Xeon® Silver 4210R CPUs, 12x 12TB HDDs, and 4x 1.92TB NVMe SSDs—ideal for scalable, high-capacity storage and Ceph-based clusters.

Discover the OpenMetal Large v3 Storage Server, featuring 12x18TB HDDs, customizable NVMe flash options up to 15.36TB per drive, and the Intel Xeon Silver 4314 processor. Ideal for Ceph-based clusters, it delivers scalable performance, hot-swappable flexibility, and enterprise-grade storage.

The transition to revolutionary technologies is often met with hesitation, especially when it involves steering away from established giants like VMware or major public cloud platforms. Yet, as discussed in the recent Storware/OpenMetal Live Stream, there exists a compelling impetus to explore viable open-source alternatives that not only promise flexibility but are also economically feasible.

A Guide to Intel vs. Micron SSDs

Read through a detailed comparison of Intel vs Micron SSDs for business buyers. Explore performance benchmarks, real-world testing, and specific use cases for popular models like the Micron 7450 MAX and Intel DC-P4610. You’ll be able to make an informed choice for your storage needs.

Cloud storage is more than just a digital filing cabinet. It’s a powerful tool that helps businesses manage data efficiently, securely, and cost-effectively. By separating storage from computational infrastructure, organizations can scale resources independently, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency. This blog will explore the benefits of cloud storage, compare popular solutions like Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage, and introduce an open-source alternative.

Companies already create vast amounts of data every day, and the growing usage of big data and AI is now skyrocketing the need for robust, scalable storage solutions. Two popular platforms are Ceph and AWS S3. Both offer capable solutions for managing and storing large amounts of data. However their architectures, capabilities, and use cases differ quite a bit. Let’s compare and contrast these two platforms to help you decide which may be the better choice for your storage needs.
