Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Without any extra costs, I was able to provide a redundant environment.""Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest.""The high availability of the solution is important to us.""The configuration of the solution and the user interface are both quite good.""The ability to provide block storage and object storage from the same storage cluster is very valuable for us.""We have some legacy servers that can be associated with this structure. With Ceph, we can rearrange these machines and reuse our investment.""It has helped to save money and scale the storage without limits.""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."

Cons
"The storage capacity of the solution can be improved.""It needs a better UI for easier installation and management.""An area for improvement would be that it's pretty difficult to manage synchronous replication over multiple regions.""Routing around slow hardware.""Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS.""It takes some time to re-balance the storage in case of server failure.""The product lacks RDMA support for inter-OSD communication.""We have encountered slight integration issues."

More Red Hat Ceph Storage Cons →

"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.""I would like to see more platforms added."
