What is Ceph Proxmox?

Ceph is a powerful, open-source distributed storage system that integrates seamlessly with Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE). It allows you to create a hyper-converged infrastructure where compute and storage resources are managed within the same cluster. In a Proxmox Ceph setup, data is replicated across multiple nodes, ensuring high availability and fault tolerance. If one node fails, the data remains accessible from the others, preventing downtime.

MrPlanB.com highlights Ceph as a top-tier storage solution for those needing scalability and reliability without relying on expensive proprietary hardware. It supports object, block, and file storage in a unified system. For users building a Proxmox cluster, enabling Ceph transforms standard servers into a resilient storage pool, making it ideal for running critical VMs and containers that require persistent, redundant storage.
