By Mike Burkhart, Technical Product Manager - IBM Storage Ceph
NVMe drives provide high performance, low-latency, highly durable and scalable storage in a smaller form factor than traditional SCSI and SATA drives. The challenge is how to scale out these capabilities to provide a platform for your enterprise data estate, and not simply silos of high performance and durability.
IBM Storage Ceph is the Software Defined Storage platform to capture and expose these capabilities for your enterprise data. Every node in a Storage Ceph cluster runs on industry-standard x86 server hardware, providing data access via any storage protocol needed: file, block, object, and CSI drivers for Kubernetes orchestrated workloads.
For VMware vSphere, Storage Ceph provides storage array offload compliant APIs that allow vSphere to issue commands directly to the cluster and perform actions on storage that would otherwise spend precious cycles on your hypervisor. IBM has also built a vCenter native Plugin that provides a sleek interface to manage storage lifecycle operations all without the need to change browser tabs.
If you are looking to lower costs and increase flexibility, while still being able to make iterative choices that are best for you and your enterprise, then look no further. IBM Storage Ceph is the best platform to support your full Enterprise Data Estate using any platform, protocol, or hardware available.
