Ceph Deployment Service
Ambedded’s Ceph Cluster Deployment service offers pre-built or on-site deployment tailored to the customer’s needs. Customers provide information such as application scenarios, system setup, and I/O expectations. Based on these inputs, our consultants design an optimized Ceph cluster. We also review the customer’s selected server hardware and offer suggestions to achieve the best hardware-software integration. The deployment includes planning data protection, OSD type, cluster size, CRUSH map, and rules to meet performance and reliability goals.
Key Considerations for Ceph Deployment
When deploying a Ceph storage cluster, the following factors must be carefully considered to ensure a reliable, high-performance, and maintainable system:
- Hardware Environment Readiness
- Rack space planning and installation
- Proper in-rack cabling and power distribution
- Server and network hardware compatibility with Ceph
- Cluster Design & Configuration
- Ceph cluster topology (OSD, MON, MGR, MDS, RGW, etc.)
- Redundancy and data durability policies (replication vs erasure coding)
- Network architecture for front-end and back-end (public vs cluster network)
- Performance tuning parameters suited to workload types (e.g., AI, VM, backup)
- Installation and Automation
- Automated or semi-automated deployment
- Time synchronization (e.g., NTP) and key authentication
- Validation and Testing
- Cluster health checks (ceph health, OSD status, etc.)
- Performance benchmarking (optional)
- Failure simulation and recovery verification
- Network connectivity and redundancy checks
- Documentation
- System architecture diagrams
- Hardware-to-service mapping
- Test reports and configuration details
- Operation guidelines and best practices
- Knowledge Transfer
- On-site or remote training workshops
- Hands-on walkthrough of daily operations and troubleshooting
- Q&A with deployment engineer
By engaging Ambedded's Ceph Deployment Service, you benefit from a faster time-to-production through expert-led deployment, reduced risk of misconfiguration or downtime, and a team that is empowered with the necessary operational know-how.
