Description
IBM Storage Ceph Ready Nodes are a simple way to deploy IBM storage and data resiliency software on industry standard servers that enable an optimized and supported configuration in
flexible and cloud scale configurations. IBM Storage Ceph Ready Nodes are designed to close the gap between software-only cloud scale storage systems and legacy storage offerings. By using
IBM Storage Ceph Ready Nodes, you can accelerate storage infrastructure modernization, reduce project risk, and improve storage efficiency by providing industry standard servers and
industry leading storage software with optimized and certified configurations supported from a single vendor for multiple requirements. This innovative approach to storage software makes
it easier to build, deploy, and expand software defined storage solutions in the data center.
