It would help to identify vendors if you described how you're using Ceph, and what sort of hardware platforms. I mention both, because some vendors, e.g. Cisco, wrap their support offering around RedHat/IBM Ceph, and I think Cisco only support RBD, for high-reliability use cases. No CephFS, No RGW. I think Cisco are also trying to hand off that department entirely to HCLTech. You MUST use their tooling ecosystem around Ceph only. As Anthony noted, some people on this list also do private consulting on Ceph work. I am not currently accepting new projects [ask again in 4-6 months], but in the past I've specialized in RGW/S3 (that's actually how I landed being paid to work on Ceph RGW at Dreamhost almost a decade ago; very thankful to Dreamhost & Sage for giving me that chance). -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Dev, Infra Lead, Foundation President & Treasurer E-Mail : robbat2@xxxxxxxxxx GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85 GnuPG FP : 7D0B3CEB E9B85B1F 825BCECF EE05E6F6 A48F6136
