What Does Ceph Deploy Mean For Our Customers?

We're excited to release a new tool 45Drives' developed for deploying Ceph — Ceph Deploy.  This awesome module makes it super simple to set up your cluster from within a graphical user interface. Releasing August 24th, Ceph deploy exists as a module within Houston. 

So what does this mean for our customers? Find out in our most recent blog.

■ NEW ON THE BIG SCREEN  ———————

 

It's the Weekly Tech Tip

New to the 45Drives big screen is Mark Hooper from our R&D team!

In this week's Tech Tip, he walks us through the latest Houston module, which simplifies building a Ceph cluster. Still using Ansible underneath the hood, this new Ceph Deployment Module graphically takes you through the steps of setting up your own Ceph Storage Cluster.

Find out how this module works and how Mark used one of our favorite childhood video games to illustrate how easy it is to navigate — in the video below!
