"The seamlessness behind the scenes of block management."
"I guess on the top of the list is certainly ease of use."
"A very flexible solution."
"StoreVirtual is that it is our software-defined solution and it's everywhere."
"A company can scale it easily."
"Simplicity of not having to buy FC or FCoE SAN. Instead, we buy servers with their own storage."
"It's very stable and it's easy to use."
"The solution is pretty stable."
"What I found most valuable from Red Hat Ceph Storage is integration because if you are talking about a solution that consists purely of Red Hat products, this is where integration benefits come in. In particular, Red Hat Ceph Storage becomes a single solution for managing the entire environment in terms of the container or the infrastructure, or the worker nodes because it all comes from a single plug."
"Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest."
"It has helped to save money and scale the storage without limits."
"I like the distributed and self-healing nature of the product."
"High reliability with commodity hardware."
"radosgw and librados provide a simple integration with clone, snapshots, and other functions that aid in data integrity."
"It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability."
"f you're doing the 10Gb adapters, SFPs don't come with it, but it doesn't say that. It might say that somewhere else, but it's not clear."
"One of the areas that need improvement is the consolidated management platform, to manage all of the nodes from one place and the licensing around that."
"It is a costly solution."
"I would like to have this solution easily integrate with VMware."
"Product looks like it is in the end of development."
"User interface could be improved."
"Hardware and disk failures are happening frequently."
"The penalty for the availability is performance. So, you have to balance or choose between the availability and the performance."
"Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS."
"What could be improved in Red Hat Ceph Storage is its user interface or GUI."
"The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement."
"I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery."
"It needs a better UI for easier installation and management."
"It takes some time to re-balance the storage in case of server failure."
"Ceph does not deal very well with, or takes a long time to recover from, certain kinds of network failures and individual storage node failures."
"We have encountered slight integration issues."
