Hi Roland, It is definitely a bit early to use ceph in a production environment. An ideal deployment at this stage would be something with plenty of load but relatively unimportant data (e.g., temporary computation results or something along those lines).
We are currently setting up some semi-largish clusters internally (16+ nodes) for heavier and longer term load testing. If that goes well I will feel a bit more confident about any use beyond testing and benchmarking. Stay tuned! :) sage On Thu, 26 Feb 2009, Roland Rabben wrote: > I am sorry if this the wrong forum, but I new to ceph trying to gather > as much information as I can at this point. > > My impressions from what I read about the concepts and implemented > code so far looks very impressive.
