In terms of features, I found the most valuable functions of Red Hat Ceph Storage to be limited because I didn't work with the OEM product; I worked with the open source version of it. When it comes to the capabilities of Red Hat Ceph Storage such as object, block, and file storage, I am not fully satisfied. For the synchronous nature of Ceph, I naturally avoid its object storage scenarios and prefer OpenStack Swift for this purpose. This is a personal choice, not based on benchmarking. I tested both and found flexibility with Swift. But Red Hat Ceph Storage is also fine, without issues. I generally prefer Swift because I want to separate my backup storage from the primary storage. For OpenShift or other Kubernetes cases, Red Hat Ceph Storage is fine, and Radosgw is fine, without issues. From my experience, the main benefit Red Hat Ceph Storage can provide to users is its performance and availability along with fault tolerance.
