Re: [ceph-users] optane + 4x SSDs for VM disk images?

Could performance of Optane + 4x SSDs per node ever exceed that of pure Optane disks? No. With Ceph, the results for Optane and just for good server SSDs are almost the same. One thing is that you can run more OSDs per an Optane than per a usual SSD. However, the latency you get from both is

The problem with caching is that if the performance delta between the two storage types isn't large enough, the cost of the caching algorithms and the complexity of managing everything outweigh the performance gains. With Optanes vs. SSDs, the main thing to consider is how busy the devices are in

Hi I am building a 3-node Ceph cluster to storE VM disk images. We are running Ceph Nautilus with KVM. Each node has: Xeon 4116 512GB ram per node Optane 905p NVMe disk with 980 GB Previously, I was creating four OSDs per Optane disk, and using only Optane disks for all storage. However, if
