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
