Disks die on schedule. With Ceph your data doesn't have to

Every disk fails eventually — that is not a risk, it is a schedule. The only question is what happens to the data: does the warehouse stop, does accounting disappear, does the online store survive the night? The classic answer is expensive proprietary storage appliances that tie you to one vendor and only grow by buying even more expensive shelves.

Ceph approaches it differently: it pools the disks of many ordinary servers into one shared storage and keeps every piece of data in several copies on different machines. A disk — or a whole server — dies, and the system rebuilds the missing copies by itself; nothing stops, nothing is lost. Need more space? Add a commodity server instead of a vendor appliance.

Ceph stores petabytes at the world's largest companies and research centres. We size the configuration for your volumes, deploy the cluster and keep it running.
