Vendor lock-in only benefits vendors. You’ll pay outrageously for support / maint then your gear goes EOL and you’re trolling eBay for parts.
With Ceph you use commodity servers, you can swap 100% of the hardware without taking downtime with servers and drives of your choice. And you get the source code so worst case you can fix or customize. Ask me sometime about my experience with a certain proprietary HW vendor. Longhorn , openEBS I don’t know much about. I suspect that they don’t offer the richness of Ceph and that their communities are much smaller. Of course we’re biased here;) > On Apr 21, 2024, at 5:21 AM, sebci...@o2.pl wrote: > > Hi, > I have problem to answer to this question: > Why CEPH is better than other storage solutions? > > I know this high level texts about > - scalability, > - flexibility, > - distributed, > - cost-Effectiveness > > What convince me, but could be received also against, is ceph as a product > has everything what I need it mean: > block storage (RBD), > file storage (CephFS), > object storage (S3, Swift) > and "plugins" to run NFS, NVMe over Fabric, NFS on object storage. > > Also many other features which are usually sold as a option (mirroring, geo > replication, etc) in paid solutions. > I have problem to write it done piece by piece. > I want convince my managers we are going in good direction. > > Why not something from robin.io or purestorage, netapp, dell/EMC.
