How are you planning on moving this data? Do you expect Ceph to do this?

What kind of access to Ceph are you planning on using? RBD? Raw RADOS?
The RADOS Gateway (S3/Swift)?

That are some serious machines. It will require a LOT of CPU power in
those machines to run 72 OSDs. Probably 4 CPUs per machine.

36.000 OSDs shouldn't really be the problem, but you are thinking really
big scale here.

No, it's not to big for Ceph. This is what it was designed for. But a
setup like this shouldn't be taken lightly.

Think about the network connectivity required to connect all these
machines and other decisions to be made.
