Hi Stéphane, Inktank also provide support through ceph enterprise, and also early design. http://www.inktank.com/enterprise/ >>Someone told me : " there is no need for professional support , just buy the equipment , install it and let it run ceph " I think it's depend if you have time or human ressources to learn how ceph is working. (It's a little more complex than a classic san storage, mainly for deploy it (hardware/network design), tuning it). But when it's running, it's running very good and without data loss.

We are interesting in CEPH ... We wonder the availability of professional support in our project approach. Do you know a professional integrator that could assist us for : • early design , • deployment • and probably support ? I already know 2 of them. But ... Someone told me : " there is no need for professional support , just buy the equipment , install it and let it run ceph " -> This is probably true, but distributed storage technologies are so new to us that we should consider professional support in our project approach (especially at this point ) . Thanks.
