About this Gig
Are you looking for a powerful, massively scalable, and cost-effective storage solution? Unlock the full potential of software-defined storage with a professionally deployed Ceph cluster. As a storage and infrastructure expert, I design and build production-ready Ceph clusters tailored to your specific performance and data resiliency needs.
I provide end-to-end Ceph deployment, configuration, and management services.
My core services include:
- Stable Cluster Deployment: I will deploy a resilient Ceph cluster on your dedicated hardware or virtual machines using modern, best-practice tools like cephadm.
- Custom Storage Pool Configuration: I will set up tailored storage pools using replication or erasure coding to achieve your desired balance of performance, cost, and data durability.
- Multi-Protocol Access Ready: I will configure your cluster to provide:
- Object Storage (S3/Swift compatible): For applications, backups, and archives.
- Block Storage (RBD): For virtual machines (Proxmox, OpenStack) and Kubernetes persistent volumes.
- File System (CephFS): For shared, POSIX-compliant file storage.
- Dashboard & Monitoring
Device:
Server/Hosting
Operating system:
Linux/Unix
FAQ
What is CEPH?
CEPH is a Software defined storage an is the future of storage with massive features such as Block Storage, Object storage and File storage capabilities.
Why do I need CEPH?
The main advantage of Ceph is that it provides interfaces for multiple storage types within a single cluster, eliminating the need for multiple storage solutions or any specialised hardware, thus reducing management overheads.
What kind of hardware do I need to provide for a Ceph cluster?
You need a minimum of 3 servers (physical or virtual). For best performance, I highly recommend a fast network (10GbE or faster) and a mix of fast SSDs (for Ceph's metadata) and larger HDDs/SSDs for data storage. We can discuss your specific hardware before starting.
I've heard Ceph can be complex to manage. Do you offer ongoing support?
Ceph is incredibly powerful and requires proper monitoring. This gig covers the professional setup and a handover. I also offer separate monthly management retainers or on-demand support gigs if you need ongoing assistance with maintenance, expansion, and troubleshooting.
Can I use this Ceph cluster with Proxmox VE or Kubernetes?
Absolutely. This is one of Ceph's greatest strengths. I can configure Ceph Block Storage (RBD) to be used as a high-performance storage backend for your Proxmox VMs or as persistent volumes for your Kubernetes applications via the Ceph CSI driver.
What is the difference between Replication and Erasure Coding?
Replication (e.g., 3x) saves multiple full copies of your data. It's high-performance but uses more raw disk space. Erasure Coding (e.g., 8+3) is a more space-efficient method that breaks data into chunks and parity blocks. I will help you choose the right data protection scheme for each of your sto
