More Huawei FusionStorage Pros →

"The community support is very good.""Most of the features are beneficial and one does not stand out above the rest.""We use the solution for cloud storage.""Replicated and erasure coded pools have allowed for multiple copies to be kept, easy scale-out of additional nodes, and easy replacement of failed hard drives. The solution continues working even when there are errors.""Ceph’s ability to adapt to varying types of commodity hardware affords us substantial flexibility and future-proofing.""The most valuable feature is the stability of the product.""We have some legacy servers that can be associated with this structure. With Ceph, we can rearrange these machines and reuse our investment.""The solution is pretty stable."

More Huawei FusionStorage Cons →

"In the deployment step, we need to create some config files to add Ceph functions in OpenStack modules (Nova, Cinder, Glance). It would be useful to have a tool that validates the format of the data in those files, before generating a deploy with failures.""Ceph does not deal very well with, or takes a long time to recover from, certain kinds of network failures and individual storage node failures.""The management features are pretty good, but they still have room for improvement.""An area for improvement would be that it's pretty difficult to manage synchronous replication over multiple regions.""Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet.""Please create a failback solution for OpenStack replication and maybe QoS to allow guaranteed IOPS.""Routing around slow hardware.""The product lacks RDMA support for inter-OSD communication."
