Ceph goes BIG for Data, OpenStack & the Storage of Everything!

In the October 2013 OpenStack User Survey, Ceph was found to be the most popular option for distributed block storage amongst OpenStack users. Innovative technology, financial, telecommunications, and academic organizations are among those that have production Ceph systems.So what does the acquisition of Inktank by Red Hat mean for the scalage storage solution that provides block, file and, Object storage from the same cluster?

Join us on June 24th at MESS in San Jose Area as we host three great experts in the field of Ceph & cloud:
