Re: But its still CEPH
Dear Anonymous,
Fujitsu's successful storage business in Japan was globalized in 2010 and quickly grew in EMEA where we have a large base of satisfied customers. We can also demonstrate good reference cases in Asia Pacific and in the US. We clearly see a build-up of software-defined storage implementations in the hyper-scale storage segment and Ceph is the leading technology in this area. At the OpenStack Summit in Vancouver around 40% of OpenStack users rated Ceph as their preferred storage technology. This is why we decided to offer a complete storage solution based on Ceph helping early adopters to use the new storage paradigm in a much more easy way and with full support. Out of this market understanding we added this new storage category to our "classical" portfolio of ETERNUS RAID systems, backup appliances, flash arrays and tape libraries allowing us to serve various storage needs.
