croit for Ceph Storage Management
croit Ceph is a software-defined storage appliance that installs or upgrades Ceph in minutes, allowing organizations to manage 40 Petabytes per administrator.
In combination with Proxmox and organization can replace VMWare and VSAN with a scalable feature-rich solution with far lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
Because of this out-of-the-box integration, there’s no need for gluing pieces together manually or struggling with iSCSI.
croit Ceph is a software appliance that upgrades to both the latest available production Linux and Ceph versions for trouble-free reliable systems.
Because Ceph is inherently a multi-site replication and/or erasure-coding platform, there’s no need for complex integrations of primary and secondary storage platforms. Your data is where you want it to be, according to policies you define.
