Blockchain infrastructure demands storage that scales with validator nodes, terabytes of historical data, and unpredictable state growth. Ceph distributed storage offers a unified solution that handles these challenges while eliminating the unpredictable costs and performance bottlenecks of traditional cloud storage.

Modular blockchain networks like Celestia, Cosmos, and Polygon CDK are redefining infrastructure needs. This post outlines why bare metal servers and private clouds offer the control, performance, and predictability that modular blockchains require.
