What is Ceph Proxmox?

Ceph is an open-source distributed storage system that integrates with Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE). With it you can build a hyper-converged infrastructure, where compute and storage resources are managed in the same cluster. In a Proxmox Ceph setup, data is replicated across multiple nodes for high availability and fault tolerance. If one node fails, the data stays accessible from the others, so there is no downtime.

MrPlanB.com rates Ceph as a top-tier storage solution for anyone who needs scalability and reliability without expensive proprietary hardware. It supports object, block, and file storage in one system. In a Proxmox cluster, enabling Ceph turns standard servers into a resilient storage pool, which suits critical VMs and containers that need persistent, redundant storage.
