Block Storage

Block storage that shrugs off failures.

We build highly available block storage on Ceph, replicated across separate failure domains. Provided natively via RBD or over NVMe-oF (NVMe/TCP), for hypervisors, Kubernetes and bare metal.

Features

Replication across failure domains

Data is stored several times on servers in separate failure domains. Losing a server or rack does not lose data.

Performance to measure

Node sizing across CPU, memory, NVMe and network, a dedicated storage network and tuning based on measurements.

RBD and NVMe-oF

We provide volumes natively via RBD or through the Ceph NVMe-oF gateway over NVMe/TCP, so hosts without a Ceph client attach the storage with their standard NVMe driver. iSCSI remains for older systems.

Kubernetes integration

Persistent volumes through ceph-csi, with dynamic provisioning and snapshots.

Snapshots and clones

Capture consistent points in time and clone volumes in seconds.

Storage classes

Different profiles for performance, availability and efficiency.

Use cases

VM disks

Natively via RBD for OpenStack, Proxmox VE and KubeVirt, via NVMe-oF for hypervisors without a Ceph client such as VMware ESXi.

Persistent volumes

Databases and stateful applications on Kubernetes.

Replacing SANs

A scalable successor to traditional SAN systems, without vendor lock-in.
