Cloud computing as an operational model and cloud native as an application architecture are together transforming the way information technology is delivered, managed, and consumed. Both are gaining traction due to their ability to run and operate applications with greater flexibility - and often, with lower costs than traditional technologies and approaches.
This white paper compares two software-defined storage solutions suited for private clouds.
- Ceph: Open-source and software-defined block, file, and object storage often used in cloud-native environments.
- The Lightbits® cloud data platform from Lightbits Labs™: Software-defined, disaggregated, and composable block storage architected from the ground up for cloud environments.
Discover more about how Lightbits significantly outperformed Ceph for all workloads tested - using identical hardware, with testing performed using workloads running as containers in an OpenShift Kubernetes environment, and dive deeper into the architectural comparisons to explain this performance advantage.
