Ceph for research computing and HPC
Storage for universities and research institutes: CephFS for shared scratch and home directories, RGW for datasets, metadata scaling for many small files, and what published university deployments show.
Ceph for industries
How Ceph deployments differ by sector, from research computing and government to healthcare, finance and hosting providers, based on published Ceph case studies and sector requirements.
Ceph for government and defense
Self-hosted storage for public sector and defense: air-gapped deployment, encryption, CUI handling, sovereign operation without a vendor cloud, and published government use.
Ceph for healthcare
Storing clinical images, records and backups on Ceph: encryption for ePHI, immutable backups, retention, availability across sites and the HIPAA documentation an implementation needs.
Ceph for financial services
Storage for banks, insurers and payment firms: DORA backup and segregation rules, immutable records, PCI DSS limits on disk encryption, multisite recovery and audit evidence.
Ceph for cloud and hosting providers
Running Ceph as the storage layer of a public or private cloud service: multi-tenant RGW accounts and quotas, block storage for VMs, scaling clusters and what published provider deployments show.
Ceph for genomics and life sciences data
Storing and sharing large sequencing datasets: object storage for data sharing, CephFS for analysis pipelines, capacity growth and controlled access to sensitive research data.
Ceph for EU sovereign cloud and data residency
Keeping data under EU control on self-operated storage: no dependency on a vendor cloud, site placement for residency, encryption with your own keys and replication inside chosen jurisdictions.
