Ceph client

A Ceph client is a component in a Ceph storage system that allows computers and applications to access and use the stored data. Ceph is an open-source distributed storage solution designed to handle large amounts of data across many servers. The client communicates with Ceph's backend storage components to read, write, and manage data efficiently. This setup ensures data is stored reliably and can be accessed quickly, making it suitable for various applications, from cloud storage to big data analytics. Essentially, the Ceph client acts as the bridge between users and the vast storage resources of a Ceph cluster.
