Ceph ISCSI GW

with adding ceph iscsi gw do u think PetaSAN become unuseful  ,

I think the main major benefit for PetaSAN is microsoft and ESXI integration with Ceph .

So whats the benefit to go with PetaSAN not with Ceph directly .

Hi there, if you feel more comfortable with using the direct approach, it is really a choice issue.  Beside ESX+ microsoft support, we try to make things easier to use + provide high availability.

Thanks for reply .

Im seeking to build backend storage cluster ( PetaSAN or Ceph ) didn`t decided yet to expand my SAN .

but actually im still searching for recommended HW design , to build my cluster on it with expected IOPs.

Is PetaSAN recommend any hw design belong to backend network ( cluster network )  and public network , also journal , cpu , ram etc ... with expected IOPs

In production way this is major issue .

 

We do have a hardware recommendation guide.  You may also find online feedback from Ceph users. There are also some hardware vendors who sell products they recommend for Ceph at different scales, some will show benchmark values.
