Today at OpenStack Summit in Sydney, Australia, Red Hat Inc. announced a bigĀ upgrade to its massively scalable, software-defined object storage platform, Red Hat Ceph Storage 3. This latest version is based off of the community version of the open source Ceph Luminous project, to which Red Hat is a leading code contributor. Red Hat Ceph Storage 3 introduces support for block storage via iSCSI and file storage via CephFS, strengthening support for OpenStack and heterogeneous environments.
Ceph is a software-defined storage system that runs on commodity hardware. Ceph is massively scalable by design. The design makes it enable and support enterprises' digital transformation efforts through web scale object and cloud infrastructures. According to the company, the latest version of Red Hat Ceph Storage enables more robust and better performance at scale, and introduces the ability to deploy storage in containers for greater cost-savings and operational efficiencies. This new version also introduces a new GUI with dozens of new dashboards (based on the upstream Ceph Metrics project) to ease user experience through proactive monitoring and troubleshooting of distributed storage clusters. Red Hat Ceph Storage 3 also adds dynamic bucket sharding, designed to help simplify maintenance and lower operational costs.
Red Hat Ceph Storage 3 includes the following highlights:
