The world creates more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day! We want to help teams store data in open-source storage on commodity hardware - safely, cheaply, and simply. Our goal is to make Ceph easy to install, manage, and use - from large enterprise data center installations to half-rack edge sites. We believe that distributed storage shouldn't be hard, and to keep up with the increasing data storage demands, it needs to be easier than ever before.
