Ceph OSD (Object Storage Daemon)

Ceph OSD (Object Storage Daemon) is a key component of the Ceph storage system, which is designed to store and manage large amounts of data across multiple servers. Each OSD is responsible for storing data, handling data replication for redundancy, and ensuring data integrity. When you save a file, it is divided into smaller pieces, and these pieces are distributed across different OSDs. This setup provides reliability, scalability, and performance, allowing users to access their data quickly and safely, even if some servers experience issues.
