INTRO TO CEPH - OPEN SOURCE DISTRIBUTED STORAGE

Seminar by Joachim Kraftmayer (CLYSO Inc.)

In the rapidly evolving computing landscape, the need for scalable, reliable storage solutions has never been more critical. Ceph, an open-source storage platform, stands at the forefront of addressing this need by offering a highly reliable and scalable storage service designed to run on commodity hardware.

Ceph's architecture allows a single cluster to serve diverse workloads, including object, block, and file storage, without being tied to a specific hardware vendor. This offers freedom from vendor lock-in, presenting a versatile solution for various storage demands.

The foundation of Ceph's reliability is its capacity to transform potentially unreliable components into a dependable storage service. This is achieved through data replication or erasure coding, ensuring data durability, and is designed with no single point of failure. It supports rolling upgrades and online expansion without service interruption, emphasizing consistency and correctness.

In terms of scalability, Ceph showcases remarkable elasticity in its storage infrastructure, which can be adjusted according to the organization's needs. It supports seamless hardware additions or removals, even under load, and permits scaling both up and out within a single cluster. Furthermore, Ceph's ability to federate multiple clusters across various sites facilitates asynchronous replication and disaster recovery, making it a robust solution for a wide spectrum of storage requirements.

In his seminar, Joachim Kraftmayer, the founder and CEO of CLYSO Inc., will delve into Ceph's potential to deliver innovative storage solutions that meet the evolving demands of the digital world. He will draw on his extensive expertise in exploring and implementing sustainable cloud solutions, particularly with a focus on Ceph since 2012, to demonstrate how these insights can be applied to benefit the scientific community. The seminar will be accessible to anyone interested in computing. We invite you to join us on Friday, March 22, at 1:00 p.m. in F324-325, or remotely via Zoom via https://jlab-org.zoomgov.com/j/1618021175?pwd=Z2xNdVVjbXg4aWJXN0xtME1uUUdwdz09


This seminar has been arranged by Markus Diefenthaler.
