Target 4 Ceph Configuration and Support Duration : 6+6 months Description: Ceph is a free-software storage platform, implements object storage on a single distributed computer cluster which provides interfaces for object-, block- and file-level storage (all national OpenStack providers currently deploy Ceph). The work would focus on best practice solution(s) for architectural setup, benchmarking, access patterns, staging and how to mitigate bottlenecks. In addition solutions for better application scalability and how to setup Rados gateway API:s and how to perform proper maintenance for both object and block store will be investigated. The target will include support for expected object based storage needs within the Glenna2 use cases.

Deliverable : Report with associated configuration descriptions
