Key Features Common Across All Clusters
3N Replication Strategy
Triple Data Copies: Every piece of data is stored on three independent storage nodes.
Immediate Consistency: Data is confirmed only after it’s written to all three nodes, ensuring consistency.
Fault Tolerance: Capable of withstanding multiple node failures without data loss.
Automatic Recovery: Ceph’s self-healing mechanism redistributes data in the event of a node failure.
Dedicated Ceph Nodes
Resource Isolation: Storage operations are isolated from compute tasks, eliminating resource contention.
Optimized Hardware: Each node is configured to maximize the performance of its specific storage media.
Scalability: Nodes can be added to clusters without service disruption, allowing your storage to grow with your needs.
Advanced Networking
High-Speed Connectivity: Utilizing dedicated 100 Gbps Cisco network for all clusters.
Redundant Paths: Ensuring no single point of failure in the network.
Low Latency: Critical for performance-sensitive applications.
