- Mars 400 Ceph Storage Appliance Video
A webinar video to introduce the Ambedded Ceph storage appliance. It includes about the basic idea of Ceph storage, the arm-based microserver architecture, the benefits on running Ceph storage on microserver platform, how to plan your ceph cluster, a walk through on Ceph management GUI (Ambedded UVS manager), different protocols supported by Ceph, and some use cases for Ceph storage.
Unboxing and introducing the Arm microserver-based Ceph appliance hardware architecture and details in the Arm server. You can also learn how it could help you to simplify the deployment on a HA ceph cluster with minimum configuration.
In this video, it talks about, the problems that Ceph attempts to solve, the benefits on Software defined storage, how Ceph is different to conventional storage. Also it talks about the Ceph core service such as MON, OSD, MDS, MGR. it explains the CRUSH rule, replication and erasure coding on Ceph storage, in the end it provide the comparison table on hardware recommendation that Ceph community vs. Red Hat and SUSE.
