Ceph is very popular, well adopted and serves as a reference for large scale storage both adopted by enterprise, SI and cloud providers. But clearly it requires solid expertise and strong support as going in production with the product must be fully controlled and well mastered.
SoftIron's Ceph support includes 4 options:
- SoftIron Ceph Support Takeover – Resuming services from a previously existing support vendor.
- SoftIron HyperDrive Migration – Assisting in the migration from a legacy Ceph installation to SoftIron’s HyperDrive appliances.
- Emergency Assistance – Providing as-needed support for enterprises requiring experienced and capable Ceph engineers.
- Transition to SoftIron Linux – Utilization of the only Linux distribution in the world tuned for Ceph performance.
HyperSafe is available as Standard or Premium and is respectively charged per OSD node per year and per cluster per year for the second model.
Once again it shows that SoftIron acts a premier ambassador of Ceph globally.
We notice at the same time an incredible story that SUSE gives up Ceph and prefers Rancher Labs for containers and Kubernetes related environments. Even if we understand the validation of their acquisition, it's a minimum, the market reality is very different as many deployed workloads run bare-metal or VM and Ceph is a very good solution to do that. But it could also mean that SUSE storage enterprise footprint is super weak as Coldago Research already reported in their Map 202 for File Storage and Object Storage listing SUSE as a specialist., without a real ownership of storage technologies.
HyperSafe and SUSE move represent an opportunity for SoftIron that will strengthens their positions in the coming quarters.
