CROIT RETHINKING STORAGE
CROIT RETHINKING STORAGE
Competition and croit Differentiators (3/4)
● Software-defined Storage Provider (not only Ceph specific)
○ IBM Spectrum Scale, VAST, WEKA, Qumulo, CLOUDIAN, SCALITY, ddn, PAVILION, …
○ Some of these are actually better in some aspects than our Ceph based storage solution
■ Analytics features for data usage
■ Ransomware protection
■ Data workflow management
○ But also many of them are limited in scope (object, file, block) or the supported hardware (e.g.
spinning rust vs. flash)
● croit differentiator
○ Cost
○ Features (supported storage classes)
○ HDD and flash support
○ Alone the option to use features or other disc types later is sometimes a differentiator
