Layered Durability at Scale: Ceph over ZFS in QuantaStor 6.9
With QuantaStor 6.9 we’ve added support for layering Ceph over ZFS. A fair first question is: why put ZFS under Ceph when Ceph already provides all the fault tolerance you need through replication and erasure coding? The answer comes down to three things: durability, resource efficiency, and manageability at scale.… Listen ⇢

How Xinnor xiRAID Supercharges Ceph Durability in Multi-Site Deployments
When it comes to building resilient, multi-site Ceph clusters, most architects reach for the same answer: replica=3 spread across three sites. It’s a sensible starting point but in practice, it leaves a dangerous gap that many organizations don’t discover until they’re unexpectedly suffering downtime. Let’s walk through the real math,… Listen ⇢

QuantaStor Service Containers: MinIO
Overview Sometimes you just need a simple, lightweight S3-compatible object storage endpoint. Maybe it’s for a development environment, a quick proof-of-concept, or an application that requires basic S3 PUT/GET functionality without the complexity of a large-scale object storage cluster. But usually a simple setup lacks any robust storage features. OSNexus… Listen ⇢

QuantaStor Scale-Out Bucket Notifications with RabbitMQ
Overview QuantaStor Scale-Out Object Storage uses Ceph technology as the base of its object storage technology. Ceph has implemented functionality similar to Amazon’s S3 object storage whereby notifications can be sent from QuantaStor when bucket events occur – object added, object deleted, object replicated, etc. These notifications can be sent… Listen ⇢
