I can remember years ago on a trade fare telling some Arabs to look at ceph when they were standing at the EMC booth. ;P If you want answers to such questions, I guess you are stuck with doing some really thorough research. I did not have such time, so for me it was that companies like CERN, NASA are(were?) using this on very large scale (thousands of disks for years) and contributing to the development. Needless to say such storage solution is critical for your business so you need to have something reliable for the future. You don't want to do business with companies that all of a sudden change licensing like Elastic search did (robin.io -> rakuten cloud?) or looking only for a quick buyout. You want experienced competent people developing this for you. Although I am quite a bit annoyed with RedHat lately, my complements are really going out to this ceph development team ,as are my complements going out to universities contributing here. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list -- ceph-users@xxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to ceph-users-leave@xxxxxxx
