Abstract

Developers and Technologists are fascinated by the low latency and high IOPS of PCIe-SSDs. But, customers expect a healthy balance between performance and enterprise features such as high availability, scalability, elasticity and data management. The open source distributed storage solution Ceph, designed for reliability, performance, and scalability in combination with commodity hardware as Infiniband, PCIe-SSDs and HDDs will merge into a perfect team, if the best I/O parameters and the right interconnect protocols are used and tuned.
