We meet at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month at the Farmington Hills Library.
Introduction to Ceph
As the size and performance requirements of storage systems have increased, system designers have looked to new architectures to facilitate system scalability. Ceph is a fully open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability from terabytes to exabytes. This talk will describe Ceph architecture, the goals of the project, and why you should care about yet another storage system.
