The Ceph Project

The Ceph Project is an open-source software platform designed for storing and managing vast amounts of data. It allows users to create scalable and reliable storage systems, often used in cloud computing and large data centers. Ceph combines storage technologies, providing block, object, and file storage in one system. Its architecture is highly flexible and self-healing, meaning it can automatically recover from failures, ensuring data remains safe and accessible. Organizations use Ceph to efficiently manage their data storage needs without relying on expensive hardware or proprietary solutions.
