- Each Tuesday, we will be releasing a tech tip video that will give users information on various topics relating to our Storinator storage servers.
This week, co-founder Doug Milburn finishes his series about Ceph storage clustering. Part 4 looks at the magic of Ceph with self-balancing and self-healing.
Check out part 1 that gives an overview of when you should consider moving from a single server infrastructure to a cluster: • Tuesday Tech Tip - Int...
Check out part 2 that gives an overview of the components that make up a starter Ceph storage cluster: • Tuesday Tech Tip - Int...
Check out part 3 that looks at how Ceph works in terms of providing your cluster setup with data security: • Tuesday Tech Tip - Int...
The scalability, availability, and future-proofed nature of clusters come into play whether it is a large, multi-petabyte deployment, or for a less than a 150TB entry-level cluster. With 45 Drives, you can get a (US)$20,000 storage cluster that will be able to provide you with a solution that will continually grow with your business needs. And, this will give you access to possibly the most well-rounded storage software ever designed.

Watching this video series is the implest way to learn Ceph for a beginner . Thank you very much .
Complex things explained in such easy to digest way means true patience and understanding of the topic
Really well done. Very approachable. Thank you!
Simple and well explained, thank you for the content!
Thanks again for the great content. Such a exciting concept
Better than just a concept! Tried and true in many many many datacentres. Much better than Gluster or Lustre or Moose FS.
well done, getting to love Ceph.
Really appreciate this series. I'm looking to learn ceph in a homelab environment, and I just got my HL15, so I've got a clean slate storage server to work with. I don't like the limitations that ZFS has when it comes to arbitrary expansion; in contrast I really like the hybrid raid that Synology provides which self-balances across drives as you add them, similar to what you described what ceph does. I'd like to move away from the closed Synology ecosystem but maintain that powerful feature. I'm considering making 3 VMs on a single server and having each one manage 5 drives. I realize this eliminates much of the high availability aspect of server outage since they're sharing the same motherboard and power supply, but being a homelab, I'm willing to accept that risk. I should still get raid5-like hard drive failure safety if I understand correctly. But, best of all, after what I learned from this video, I could add another physical server down the line, add it to the cluster, let it self-balance, then intentionally kill off one of my VMs, consume the now-unused hard drives with the other 2 VMs, and return to a 3-system cluster, but now with 2 physical servers. I think this means I could scale infinitely and gradually achieve true high availability once I reach 3 physical servers. Is this concept sound?
Hey Casey, love to hear that you are combining your knowledge of homelab and clustering. I think these questions would be perfect for our homelab forum. Do you mind posting in there? I think between our team and the rest of the community, we can get you started on the right foot!

@@45Drives will do, thanks
awesome..
thanks!
