Since our inception, we’ve helped enterprises across the span–major financial institutions, service providers, Fortune 100 companies–harness Ceph’s transformative power to radically improve the economics and management of their storage. Ceph was designed to enable customers to build and maintain multi-petabyte-scale clusters while providing such enterprise-level features as no single point of failure and the ability to run on commodity hardware.
