Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I like the distributed and self-healing nature of the product.""What I found most valuable from Red Hat Ceph Storage is integration because if you are talking about a solution that consists purely of Red Hat products, this is where integration benefits come in. In particular, Red Hat Ceph Storage becomes a single solution for managing the entire environment in terms of the container or the infrastructure, or the worker nodes because it all comes from a single plug.""Ceph was chosen to maintain exact performance and capacity characteristics for customer cloud.""High reliability with commodity hardware.""The solution is pretty stable.""The high availability of the solution is important to us.""The most valuable feature is the stability of the product.""Most valuable features include replication and compression."

Cons
"This product uses a lot of CPU and network bandwidth. It needs some deduplication features and to use delta for rebalancing.""The storage capacity of the solution can be improved.""Geo-replication needs improvement. It is a new feature, and not well supported yet.""I would like to see better performance and stability when Ceph is in recovery.""An area for improvement would be that it's pretty difficult to manage synchronous replication over multiple regions.""Rebalancing and recovery are a bit slow.""Ceph is not a mature product at this time. Guides are misleading and incomplete. You will meet all kind of bugs and errors trying to install the system for the first time. It requires very experienced personnel to support and keep the system in working condition, and install all necessary packets.""It takes some time to re-balance the storage in case of server failure."
