Tuesday Tech Tip - Intro to Ceph Clustering Part 2 - How Ceph Works

Each Tuesday, we will be releasing a tech tip video that will give users information on various topics relating to our Storinator storage servers.
This week, co-founder Doug Milburn returns to talk more about Ceph storage. Part 2 of this 4-part series looks at how Ceph works and the components that make up a starter Ceph storage cluster. Find out how the Ceph software defined storage system manages servers, OSDs and storage pools with file system, block and object access.
The scalability, availability, and future-proofed nature of clusters come into play whether it is a large, multi-petabyte deployment, or for a less than a 150TB entry-level cluster. With 45 Drives, you can get a (US)$20,000 storage cluster that will be able to provide you with a solution that will continually grow with your business needs. And, this will give you access to possibly the most well-rounded storage software ever designed.
Check out part 1 that gives an overview of when you should consider moving from a single server infrastructure to a cluster: • Tuesday Tech Tip - Int...

I can't believe I am just stumbling onto this today. Still 100% relevant unlike other tech videos. With most tech content, the video is outdated just as the public views it. I hope more people see your videos.

Was 45Drives impacted by the pending CentOS EOL date moving to 31 Dec 2021?

So I can't do object storage on prem? Why do you say it's only relevant for S3 through API? Object storage only good for unstructured data? Why is that?

[@45Drives]

Hey Matias, Ceph is natively an object storage platform, and presents an S3 API endpoint for accessing those objects, rather than needing to use Ceph's own RADOS tools. Object storage is generally, if not always unstructured data. Object storage is great for delivering content, especially in high latency environments. It wasn't designed with the intention of running structured, low latency data structures, such as relational databases. Hope this helps!
