Ceph Distributed File System

Ceph is a scalable, open-source storage system that manages data across multiple computers (servers), creating a unified, reliable storage pool. It distributes data into small chunks and replicates or erasure codes it across many nodes, ensuring high availability and durability even if some nodes fail. Ceph supports various types of storage, like object, block, and file systems, making it flexible for different needs. Its architecture enables easy expansion and efficient data management without a single point of failure, making it ideal for large-scale enterprise or cloud storage environments.
