Ceph can be used for a wide variety of storage applications because a single system can be made to support block, file, and object interfaces. This flexibility makes Ceph an excellent storage solution for academic research computing environments, which are increasingly being asked to support complicated workflows with limited hardware and personnel budgets. This BoF will bring together experts who have deployed Ceph for a variety of applications and will illustrate how Ceph fits into research computing environments.
