Maximize your storage efficiency with Ceph

How to improve storage efficiency with Ceph

A Ceph storage cluster provides block, file and object storage, but what features are available to reduce the amount of raw capacity use?

• Thin provisioning: A technique used when provisioning block storage volumes, to only allocate the amount of storage that has been written, rather than reserving all of the space required by a volume.
• Snapshots: A point-in-time copy of a volume that preserves the state at the point the snapshot was taken by tracking which blocks have changed.
• Compression: Applying compression algorithms to back-end pools or to individual objects can reduce the amount of storage space consumed.

In this webinar we will explore typical use cases for these efficiency features, how they can be leveraged, what implications they have on system performance, and the savings that can be achieved. With an indepth look at the performance impact of compression and how hardware offload can be leveraged.

Join the webinar to learn about:

• Thin provisioning
• Snapshots
• Compression
• Intel Quick Assist Technology (QAT)
• Performance considerations
• Storage economics
