INDUSTRY STANDARD HARDWARE
Standardization makes storage more convenient
Customers can build clusters using standard hardware
from existing vendors that’s perfect for their workload.
• Clusters can be performance-optimized, capacity-
optimized, or throughput-optimized
• Need capacity? Add more disks. Too slow? Add more
servers.
• Clusters can become larger or smaller with no downtime

12. 12
OPEN INNOVATION
• Contributions from Intel, SanDisk, CERN, and Yahoo
• Presenting Ceph Days in cities around the world and
quarterly virtual Ceph Developer Summit events
• Over 11M downloads in the last 12 months
• Increased development velocity, authorship, and
discussion has resulted in rapid feature expansion

PETABYTE SCALABILITY
Open, software-
defined storage
is the best way
to manage data
cost-effectively
at web scale
Storage clusters of inexpensive,
standard x86 hardware
• Adds more disks to increase
capacity, more servers for
performance
• Intelligently uses various kinds of
media (SSD, HDD, Flash)
Distributed, parallelized data access
• Provides performance that scales
as capacity does, to petabytes
and beyond
Policy-based data distribution
• Respects defined failure domain
• Reacts when hardware changes
Hash-based data distribution
• Simplifies architecture
• Ensures linear performance
scaling

UNPARALLELED AGILITY
Built with
open source and
standard
hardware, Red
Hat Storage
solutions provide
unparalleled
flexibility
Deployments come in all shapes
and sizes
• Runs on hardware optimized for
capacity, performance, or IOPS (or a
blend)
• Deploys on-premise, in the cloud,
or spanning the two
Broad, commercial ecosystems
prevent lock-in
• Supports a wide variety of systems
from most major providers
Compatible and extensible
• Supports clients written for S3/Swift
• Provides powerful native object API
Multiprotocol support
