Hi guys, We use Dell EMC VxFlex OS, which in its current version allows for free use and commercial (in version 3.5 a licence is needed, but its perpetual). It's similar to Ceph but more geared towards scale and performance etc (it use to be called ScaleIO). Other than that, I know of a couple sites using SAN storage, but a lot of people just seem to use Ceph.

As far as commercial solutions are concerned we are working with network appliance (netapp) and emc unity.

Hi all. we 'd like to explore storage back end alternatives to CEPH for Openstack
I am aware of GlusterFS but what would you recommend for distributed storage like Ceph and specifically for block device provisioning? Of course must be:
1. *Reliable* 2. *Fast* 3. *Capable of good performance over WAN given a good network back end*
Both open source and commercial technologies and ideas are welcome.
Cheers
