Overall Satisfaction with Red Hat Ceph 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
