Ceph is octopus of the storage
One of the main advantages of Red Hat Ceph Storage is its Self-healing and having the ability to provide object, block, and file storage in a single platform. This allows organizations to easily manage and access their data, regardless of the type of data or the specific use case. Additionally, the software is designed to be highly scalable, which means that organizations can easily add more storage capacity as their data grows.
- Self healing
- Redundancy
- scalable, and cost-effective storage solution
- provide object, block, and file storage in a single platform.
- Limited integration with other tools: While Red Hat Ceph Storage can be integrated with other Red Hat products, it may not integrate seamlessly with other tools that organizations are already using.
- ack of built-in data compression and deduplication: Red Hat Ceph Storage does not have built-in data compression and deduplication capabilities. This can lead to increased storage costs for organizations that are storing large amounts of data.
- Limited monitoring
- Limited to 32 Storage node only at proxmox
- Scalability: Red Hat Ceph Storage is designed to be highly scalable, which means that organizations can easily add more storage capacity as their data grows.
- High availability: The software is designed to automatically detect and recover from hardware failures, which helps to ensure that data is always accessible.
- Multi-protocol support: Red Hat Ceph Storage supports multiple storage protocols such as S3, RADOS, NFS, and iSCSI, which allows organizations to easily store and access different types of data.
- 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 and manage large amounts of data that is generated by HPC applications.
- Data archiving: Red Hat Ceph Storage can be used to store large amounts of data that must be kept for long
VSAN (Virtual SAN) and Ceph are both software-defined storage solutions, but they have some key differences in terms of their architecture and capabilities.VSAN is a software-defined storage solution that is built into the VMware vSphere hypervisor. It allows organizations to create a shared storage pool using locally attached storage on multiple ESXi hosts. VSAN is designed to be highly available, and it can automatically detect and recover from hardware failures.Ceph, on the other hand, is an open-source software-defined storage solution that can run on a variety of different hardware and virtualization platforms. It provides object, block, and file storage in a single platform, and is designed to be highly scalable and highly available. Ceph is also known for its ability to handle large amounts of data, and it can be integrated with a wide variety of different applications and services.In terms of functionality, VSAN is more suited for virtualized environments, as it is built into vSphere and it is designed to work well with vSphere's other features such as vMotion and DRS. Ceph on the other hand provides more flexibility as it can run on multiple platforms and it can handle more types of storage like object, block and file storage.I

Red Hat Ceph Storage Review
Red Hat Ceph Storage is an excellent solution to manage the data of your data center. I use it to manage the data of telco applications called as VNFs & it provides automatic software-defined storage management for your cloud rack without a dependency on 3PP storage vendors like EMC & NetApp. The replication, resilience & recovery mechanisms are just awesome. Red Hat Ceph Storage gives you the flexibility to define separate storage pools (fast or slow pools) for separate applications & these pools can be defined on top of supported storage devices like SSD or NVMe. Once you setup Red Hat Ceph Storage then you don't have to worry about data replication & recovery unless & until it is a hardware fault.
- Data replication
- Data recovery (in case of a HDD fault)
- Ease of maintenence via Ceph CLI
- GUI based mainetenence should be developed
- Unable to detect storage latencies
- VM to disk mapping should be visible so as to save some critical applications data in case of HDD failures
- Self healing
- Vendor agnostic
- Provisioning of Block storage
- Cost saving in terms of capex (you can reduce EMC & NetApp like dependency)
- One time setup & then easy provisioning of storage
- Requirement of competent engineers for maintenence
Our data centers use simpler hardware & Red Hat Ceph Storage is simpler to use for moderate-sized data centers with simple hardware. Also, glusterFS is more suitable for a large amount of data (Zetabytes) with large file sizes which is not our requirement. It is easy to make customer-specific customizations in Red Hat Ceph Storage

Cost effective object storage
We use Red Hat Ceph Storage to store large binary objects of unstructured data. We ended up in a situation where storing large objects in a relational database wasn’t cost effective to scale and due to this we changed so structured data is stored in a relational database while binary objects such as photos, videos and documents are stored in Red Hat Ceph Storage.
- Cost effective storage
- Partitioning data in separate buckets
- Ability to store large individual objects
- Authorization on object level could be improved
- Helper libraries to access Red Hat Ceph Storage from various languages could be improved
- Ability to attach structured metadata to stored objects could be improved
- Scalable storage solution
- Clustering support
- Support for authorization on bucket level
- Cost effective scalable storage
- Ability to store large individual objects
- Simplified management thanks to ability to use separate buckets instead of separate database servers for each application
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.

Simplified data storage platform
Our company depends on this platform to store our data with modern advanced tools. My team depends on the information stored in this product to get analytics. Monitoring our operations is easy from reliable insights that keep our organization running. Shrinking storage volumes to store different scaled-down units is easy. Most of the data that is left unattended is currently in a safe environment and can be attended to later when the demand arises.
- Breaking down storage units into manageable clusters.
- Enhancing data protection.
- The massive storage platform has no room for improvement.
- No failure from the performance.
- It meets our workload demands.
- Provision of data security features.
- It has moved with speed to recover our ROI.
- We are satisfied by its overall performance.
I have not experienced any other reliable storage platform. This software catches up with the daily changes in our workloads. It caters to all our market demands and effectively safeguards every information that is generated from our company. The installation and deployment process takes place faster as compared with other products. The data backup plan is very reliable and has helped us to recover most lost data.
