Ceph

The Future of Storage™

Visit Ceph

Ceph is an open-source distributed storage system that provides object, block, and file interfaces from a single cluster built from commodity hardware components. It is intended for organizations looking to consolidate storage services in one system rather than operating separate platforms for each interface.

The project is fully open source, with source code available to browse, study, modify, and contribute to. Documentation covers getting started, deployment, and management of a Ceph cluster, along with resources for developers. Security vulnerabilities are handled through a dedicated reporting address, with additional information and previous CVEs published in the project's documentation.

Ceph is aimed at organizations of varying sizes as well as developers working with the codebase. It can be deployed and managed using the project's documentation and links for acquiring Ceph. The pages do not specify commercial editions, seat-based or usage-based packaging, free plans, or trials.
