“Ceph is an open-source software storage platform, implements object storage on a single distributed computer cluster, and provides 3-in-1 interfaces for object-, block- and file-level storage” ~ wikipedia
At the University of Kentucky, researchers are encouraged to use Ceph object storage (Ceph RGW) to store large amount of data for medium/long-term storage needs.
