Hello ceph users,
Is anyone running any low powered single disk nodes with Ceph now? Calxeda
seems to be no more according to Wikipedia. I do not think HP moonshot is
what I am looking for - I want stand-alone nodes, not server cartridges
integrated into server chassis. And I do not want to be locked to a single
vendor.
I was playing with Raspberry Pi 2 for signage when I thought of my old
experiments with Ceph.
I am thinking of for example Odroid-C1 or Odroid-XU3 Lite or maybe
something with a low-power Intel x64/x86 processor. Together with one SSD
or one low power HDD the node could get all power via PoE (via splitter or
integrated into board if such boards exist). PoE provide remote power-on
power-off even for consumer grade nodes.
The cost for a single low power node should be able to compete with
traditional PC-servers price per disk. Ceph take care of redundancy.
I think simple custom casing should be good enough - maybe just strap or
velcro everything on trays in the rack, at least for the nodes with SSD.
Kind regards,
