Inktank provides professional services and support for Ceph, an open source distributed storage system that can provide object, block, and file storage in a single cluster with unlimited scalability. Ceph runs on commodity hardware, is self-healing and self-managing, and has no single point of failure. Inktank helps organizations leverage Ceph to decrease storage costs, increase flexibility, and move away from proprietary storage systems.
Inktank:ceph overview
- 1. Inktank Delivering the Future of Storage
- 2. About Inktank Inktank is the company delivering Ceph—the massively scalable, open source, distributed storage system. Launched by some of the leading developers of Ceph, Inktank’s mission is to help organizations fully leverage the transformative power of Ceph to decrease storage costs, increase operational flexibility and help them free themselves from restrictive and expensive proprietary storage systems. Inktank provides best- in-class professional services and support offerings to enterprises, service providers, and cloud platforms. Please visit www.inktank.com for more information.
- 3. About Ceph Ceph, The Future of Storage™, is a transformative, universal storage system. Ceph is the first and only distributed storage solution designed to enable object, block and filesystem storage in a single cluster with unlimited scalability. The platform is capable of auto-scaling to the exabyte level and beyond, it runs on commodity hardware, it is self-healing and self-managing, and has no single point of failure. Ceph is in the Linux kernel; Ceph can be accessed natively via programming languages; Ceph can be accessed via the Swift and S3 APIs; Ceph is integrated with the OpenStack™ cloud operating system; and Ceph is integrated with the Apache CloudStack project. As a result of its open source nature, this portable storage platform may be installed and used in public or private clouds. Please visit www.ceph.com for more information.

Editor's Notes
- #2: 20120901
- #5: The Ceph project began at UC Santa Cruz in 2003. It was a research project started by Sage Weil as part of his PhD program. He was working to solve the scalability issues he had experienced with Lustre. The project was open sourced in 2006 under the LGPL V2 license and has continued to grow with support from DreamHost. The name "Ceph" is a common nickname given to pet octopus and derives from cephalopods, a class of molluscs. The name suggests the highly parallel behavior of an octopus. Sage worked closely with the Linux community and over time the Ceph project was accepted into the mainline linux kernel. The Ceph and Inktank teams have also been working closely with many other open source communities, and Ceph has been integrated with OpenStack, Apache CloudStack, SUSE Cloud, Canonical Ubuntu, and QEMU/KVM. In April 2012, Inktank was launch as a company to provide enterprise support and services for Ceph. Inktank is funded by DreamHost and more recently Mark Shuttleworth personally invested in Intkank to show his support for the Ceph project. Inktank is located in Los Angeles and Sunnyvale. We have about 50 employees and continue to grow.

Ceph is a free software distributed storage system. At its core, Ceph is a massively scalable, reliable, autonomous, distributed object store (RADOS) comprised of self-healing, self-managing, intelligent storage nodes. The LIBRADOS library allows native access to the object store with support for C, C++, Java, Python, Ruby and PHP. The RADOS Gateway is a REST gateway with full compatibility with S3 and SWIFT. This means that applications developed to work with Amazon S3 object storage and applications built to work on OpenStack with SWIFT storage can easily be moved onto Ceph storage with a simple endpoint change. The RADOS Block Device provides a distributed virtual block device that appears like a physical block device to host and virtual machines. The Ceph File System is a POSIX-compliant distributed file system with a Linux kernel client and a FUSE client. By providing object, block and filesystem support on a single platform, an organization can host storage for legacy apps and new object storage apps in a single cluster.
