Object Storage

Pinakastra Ceph Storage is a production-ready implementation of the Ceph open source storage platform, designed for web-scale object storage and cloud infrastructures. It manages data on a distributed computer cluster and supports object, block, and file-level storage. Ideal for demanding applications, Pinakastra Ceph Storage offers data protection, reliability, and availability, accessible via Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, or native API protocols. Optimized for installations of a petabyte or greater, it overcomes the limitations of traditional file system-based storage. Pinakastra provides extensive support options, a robust knowledge base, and a focus on user experience, including standardized release schedules, upgrades, and deployment resources. Customers can access reference architectures, performance guides, and technical briefs to deploy Ceph successfully, with additional security from technology certifications and quality assurance programs.

OpenStack and Ceph

OpenStack is today’s largest and fastest-growing open source cloud infrastructure project. Overwhelmingly preferred by OpenStack users, Ceph scales the way OpenStack does—out, not up— and its extensible architecture allows it to integrate more tightly with OpenStack than traditional, proprietary solutions. Pinakastra Ceph Storage serves as a single efficient platform to support all storage needs—block (persistent and ephemeral), object, and file—on standard servers and disks. It’s tightly integrated with OpenStack services, including Nova, Cinder, Manila, Glance, Keystone, and Swift, and it offers user-driven storage life-cycle management with 100% API coverage.
