.. sidebar:: About Ceph
**One Object Storage:** The Ceph Object Store, called RADOS, is the
object storage component for CephFS filesystems, Ceph RADOS Gateways, and
Ceph Block Devices.
**Many Storage Interfaces:** You can use CephFS, Ceph RADOS Gateway, or Ceph
Block Devices in your deployment. You may also use all three interfaces
with the same Ceph Object Store cluster! There's no reason to build three
different storage clusters for three different types of storage interface!
**Use Commodity Hardware!:** You can deploy Ceph with commodity hardware.
You don't need to purchase proprietary storage or networking hardware
commonly used in :abbr:`SAN (Storage Area Network)` systems.
