Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"We use the solution for cloud storage.""radosgw and librados provide a simple integration with clone, snapshots, and other functions that aid in data integrity.""The solution is pretty stable.""It's a very performance-intensive, brilliant storage system, and I always recommend it to customers based on its benefits, performance, and scalability.""Ceph has simplified my storage integration. I no longer need two or three storage systems, as Ceph can support all my storage needs. I no longer need OpenStack Swift for REST object storage access, I no longer need NFS or GlusterFS for filesystem sharing, and most importantly, I no longer need LVM or DRBD for my virtual machines in OpenStack.""We are using Ceph internal inexpensive disk and data redundancy without spending extra money on external storage.""Most valuable features include replication and compression.""The community support is very good."

"It would be nice to have a notification feature whenever an important action is completed.""If you use for any other solution like other Kubernetes solutions, it's not very suitable.""Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS.""An area for improvement would be that it's pretty difficult to manage synchronous replication over multiple regions.""I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery.""It takes some time to re-balance the storage in case of server failure.""What could be improved in Red Hat Ceph Storage is its user interface or GUI.""We have encountered slight integration issues."

"I would like to see more platforms added.""The Veritas support for Access Appliance could improve. They are a pioneer in the industry, and they provide an enterprise-level solution. However, when comparing the storage, they can't compete with the NetBackup solution."
