“Cloud computing presents a new model for data delivery and data
storage and it’s a new model that is set to soon benefit from the
Ceph filesystem.

“The open source Ceph filesystem is a distributed filesystem
that is intended to be massively scalable. The system was initially
created by Sage Weil, who is also the co-founder of hosting

hosted cloud computing and storage products that will leverage
Ceph. Dreamhost is also working on integrating Ceph with the
OpenStack cloud computing framework.”
