Enterprise Storage
Distributed Storage
Distributed storage involves clustering multiple servers using software to form a single logical hardware layer. You can logically define your hardware into pools based on what makes the most sense to your users. When you need to grow, you can simply add more hardware to your cluster and scale the spaces that need additional storage.
Your data will be distributed across your hardware providing redundancy. This way, your storage is highly available, meaning even if a server goes down because of maintenance or failure, you will still have access to your data.
Clusters provide your users with a seamless experience, free from downtime, highly performant, and never limited by space. Clusters provide administrators with a stress-free time managing their storage – you will no longer need to come in after hours for maintenance or repairs.
Our distributed storage solution runs on Ceph.
Ceph
Ceph is an open-source, distributed storage system that delivers object, block, and file storage in one unified system. Ceph provides completely distributed operations without a single point of failure and scalability to the exabyte level.
Ceph is scalable
Ceph is capable of rapid scaling, without the typical downtime other solutions require. Using the advanced CRUSH algorithm, Ceph overcomes all scalability challenges, leading the way towards truly flexible, incredibly resilient storage at scale. Stop relying on expensive, vendor-specific hardware and lock-in contracts. Break free of legacy limitations. Grow your storage clusters exponentially as your business scales. Ceph is the scalable, cost-effective solution to rapid and unpredictable data growth in the enterprise market, academic institutions, and beyond.
Ceph is reliable
Data is irreplaceable, so storage system reliability and fine-tuned management is paramount. Achieve peace of mind with Ceph; self-managing and self-healing, Ceph finds and rectifies issues before you are even aware of them. Within your storage cluster, Ceph Monitor and Manager daemons coordinate to increase reliability and data availability across interconnected systems. The CRUSH algorithm mitigates the risk of single points of failure, performance bottlenecks, and limits to scalability, creating a reliable and high-performing storage solution, fit for the growing enterprise market.
Ceph is performant
Ceph’s configuration and deployment can be completely tailored to your needs, without compromising on performance. Apply Ceph to your existing storage setup, or create a new cluster with widely-available commodity hardware to achieve industry leading reliability and scalability, without the expense of traditional, proprietary ICT infrastructure.
Where traditional storage systems struggle with latency, complicated data reduplication processes and demand specific, inflexible physical infrastructure, Ceph remains performant and scalable.
As a software-defined storage system, Ceph is designed to maximise effectiveness and performance, regardless of the infrastructure it runs on.
Who is Ceph for?
This solution is perfect for companies and organizations with large amounts of data, typically 25TB or more and expect it to grow rapidly. It’s also the solution of choice for anyone who’s data storage may be required for internal usage or for customer facing purposes.
How does Ceph work?
Using multiple storage servers, we can create a cluster solution that acts as one large unit which can be easily scaled. This solution allows you to start small and grow overtime.
Whether you have 25TB and plan to grow to 100PB or 150PB this is the ideal solution to ensure your data is always available. These powerful solutions meet your storage needs today while being easily scalable whenever you require more storage.
