<h3>Welcome</h3>

Ceph is a distributed file system designed to provide excellent
|
||
|
|
performance, reliability, and scalability. Ceph maximizes the
|
||
|
|
separation between data and metadata management by replacing
|
||
|
|
allocation tables with a pseudo-random data distribution function
|
||
|
|
(CRUSH) designed for heterogeneous and dynamic clusters of unreliable
|
||
|
|
object storage devices (OSDs). We leverage device intelligence by
|
||
|
|
distributing data replication, failure detection and recovery to
|
||
|
|
semi-autonomous OSDs running a specialized local object file system.
|
||
|
|
A dynamic distributed metadata cluster provides extremely efficient
|
||
|
|
metadata management and seamlessly adapts to a wide range of general
|
||
|
|
purpose and scientific computing file system workloads. Performance
|
||
|
|
measurements under a variety of workloads show that Ceph has excellent
|
||
|
|
I/O performance and scalable metadata management, supporting more than
|
||
|
|
250,000 metadata operations per second.

<h4>Moved to SourceForge (10/2/2006)</h4>

After a few too many months of summer distractions, I've finally moved the Ceph CVS code base over from UCSC to Subversion on SourceForge, and created a Ceph home page. This is largely in preparation for upcoming paper publications which will hopefully increase Ceph's exposure and attract some interest to the project. Yay!
