Cost/Performance and Performance Density: Simplyblock outperforms Ceph in terms of cost/performance and performance density. While Ceph has average access latencies rarely dropping below 3 ms and an average of about 2,000 IOPS/CPU-core without compression, encryption, deduplication or other data services turned on. That limits the performance density to about 100.000 IOPS per storage node on a physical server with 48 CPU cores, consuming about 500 Watts of power and 1 or 2 rack units. Simplyblock consistently delivers average access latencies well below 100 microseconds and can scale up to approximately 10 million IOPS per storage node. This significant improvement in performance density allows for higher storage capacity and efficiency while maintaining low latency.

Ceph

Ceph is a distributed object store and file system designed to provide excellent performance...

Ceph utilizes its own storage driver (rbd) that is integrated into the Linux Kernel and can also be used on other platforms as a third-party driver. It enables seamless connectivity between hosts and the Ceph cluster. In addition to OpenStack, Ceph offers deep integrations with Kubernetes through a separate CSI driver, as well as other platforms.
