Architecture of Ceph
======================
-Ceph is a distributed file system that provides:
+Ceph is a distributed network storage and file system with distributed
+metadata management and POSIX semantics.
- * peta-byte scalability
- * high availability
- * high reliability
- * automatic load and capacity balancing
- * near-POSIX semantics
-
-and can be accessed via:
-
- * a kernel mode client (much like NFS)
- * a user-mode (FUSE) client
- * a user-mode client library
-
-Ceph is built on top of a Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store (RADOS),
-which can be accessed through:
-
- *
-
-Both Ceph and RADOS can be accessed:
RADOS is a reliable object store, used by Ceph, but also directly
accessible.
