Longhorn Block Storage is well suited for most Kubernetes workloads where data storage is required, but when very high storage speed is essential, Longhorn Block Storage might not be the best solution. For those rare situations, we use local storage mounts. Longhorn Block Storage's ability to easily create/restore volume snapshots is a very frequently used feature among our dev teams because they can easily play multiple scenarios with the same data - modify data, restore it and modify it again.
Large scale data storage: Red Hat Ceph Storage is designed to be highly scalable and can handle large amounts of data. It's well suited for organizations that need to store and manage large amounts of data, such as backups, images, videos, and other types of multimedia content.Cloud-based deployments: Red Hat Ceph Storage can provide object storage services for cloud-based applications such as SaaS and PaaS offerings. It is well suited for organizations that are looking to build their own cloud storage infrastructure or to use it as a storage backend for their cloud-based applications.High-performance computing: Red Hat Ceph Storage can be used to provide storage for high-performance computing (HPC) applications, such as scientific simulations and other types of compute-intensive workloads. It's well suited for organizations that need to store Incentivized
Creates read-write many (RWX) volumesLonghorn Block Storage is an easy to deploy solutionScheduled and on-demand volume snapshots can be created using web GUIVolume backups can be stored offsite on any S3 compatible storage solutionBackups and snapshots can be restored using web GUI
Highly resilient, almost every time we attempted to destroy the cluster it was able to recover from a failure. It struggled to when the nodes where down to about 30%(3 replicas on 10 nodes)The cache tiering feature of Ceph is especially nice. We attached solid state disks and assigned them as the cache tier. Our sio benchmarks beat the our Netapp when we benchmarked it years ago (no traffic, clean disks) by a very wide margin.Ceph effectively allows the admin to control the entire stack from top to bottom instead of being tied to any one storage vendor. The cluster can be decentralized and replicated across data centers if necessary although we didn't try that feature ourselves, it gave us some ideas for a disaster recovery solution. We really liked the idea that since we control the hardware and the software, we have infinite upgradability with off the shelf parts which is exactly what it was built for.Incentivized
Version to version upgrades takes more expertise to do than initial deploymentIf something goes wrong, you will need a help from supportLonghorn Block Storage speed is slightly slower than local disk storage speed
GUI based mainetenence should be developedUnable to detect storage latenciesVM to disk mapping should be visible so as to save some critical applications data in case of HDD failuresIncentivized
MongoDB offers better search ability compared to Red Hat Ceph Storage but it’s more optimized for large number of object while Red Hat Ceph Storage is preferred if you need to store binary data or large individual objects. To get acceptable search functionality you really need to compile Red Hat Ceph Storage with another database where the search metadata related to Red Hat Ceph Storage objects are stored.Incentivized
It has provided a highly available storage solution for almost all our Kubernetes deploymentsWe can deploy new app versions with peace in mind because we have working data backupsApplication development is faster because devs can play with data and easily restore it when needed
Ceph allows my customer to scale out very fast.Ceph allows distributing storage objects through multiple server rooms.Ceph is fault-taulerant, meaning the customer can lose a server room and would still be able to access the storage.Incentivized
