QCT and Red Hat Ceph Storage

A Powerful Solution for Manageable Scalability QCT offers a family of servers for different types of scale-out storage clusters, optimized with Red Hat Ceph Storage for different workloads and budgets. The SDS solutions deliver seamless interoperability, capital and operational efficiency, and powerful performance. Delivered in one self-healing, self-managing platform with no failure, QCT and Red Hat Ceph Storage make businesses focus on improving application availability.

Optimize for Different Workloads

QCT servers are offered in a range of configurations to allow diverse workload optimization – IOPS optimized, throughput-optimized and cost-/capacity-optimized configurations. Ranging from dense, 1U systems to models providing massive storage capacity, servers enable Ceph journaling by providing expansion slots for PCIE SSDs or specially designed spaces for SSDs.

Scale Performance and Capacity Independently

Unlike scale-up storage solutions, Red Hat Ceph Storage on QCT servers lets organizations scale out to thousands of nodes and scale storage performance and capacity independently, depending on application needs and storage server platform.

Offer Impressive Performance through Engineered Configuration Matrix

Red Hat and QCT architects have conducted extensive Ceph testing on configurations for QCT QuantaGrid D51PH-1ULH and QCT QuantaPlex T21P-4U servers. Testing revealed that QCT servers provide multiple benefits for organizations deploying Ceph clusters, including:

• Minimized Risk
  Extensive Red Hat and QCT testing reduces the risk out of deploying scale-out, Ceph-based storage solutions.
• High Density
  Cost- or capacity- optimized configurations provide industry-leading density. Innovative QCT server platforms are easy to deploy rapidly at scale.
• Flexibility
  For throughput-oriented workloads, both QCT QuantaGrid D51PH-1ULH and QuantaPlex T21P-4U servers with Ceph replicated pools enable organizations to use a range of different cluster sizes.
• Cost-Effectiveness
  For object archive workloads, QCT QuantaPlex T21P-4U servers with Ceph erasure-coded pools provide competitively priced storage.
• Scalability
  For high-throughput workloads, QCT QuantaPlex T21P-4U servers with Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro 40 Gigabit Ethernet NICs (network interface controllers) provide scalable throughput and competitive rack-density.
