CEPH ALTERNATIVE
STORAGE-EFFICIENT
HIGH-PERFROMANCE
Up to 9X more effective storage and 100X more IOPS/GB than Ceph
Why simplyblock as an alternative to Ceph?
Ceph is a powerful and flexible software-defined hybrid storage solution. However, it was built and designed for spindling disks and this legacy architecture is hard to overcome. Despite its many advantages, Ceph suffers from inefficient use of CPU and disk resources and low IOPS/GB performance.
Simplyblock offers the best features of Ceph (great flexibility and reliability, superior integration with OpenStack, outstanding cluster architecture) upgraded by superior IOPS performance, storage efficiency and access latency.
Storage-efficient
Up to 9x more effective storage per GB than ceph on the same raw storage

Highly Performant
Up to 100x more IOPS / CPU Core or GB

Deep Integration
Full native integration for OpenStack cinder, nova and swift as well as Proxmox.

Complete Solution
File and object storage available in combination with the Redhat GFS2 filesystem and OpenStack Swift for S3

Ultra low access latency and great scalability
Similarly to ceph, simplyblock solution is based on commodity server hardware and TCP/IP but rather than proprietary SAN technology, it provides very low access latency, high IOPS/GB and CPU core, great scalability and flexibility.
