 Ceph uniquely delivers **object, block, and file storage in one unified
-system**. Ceph is highly reliable, easy to manage, and free. The power of Ceph
-can transform your company's IT infrastructure and your ability to manage vast
-amounts of data. Ceph delivers extraordinary scalability--thousands of clients
-accessing petabytes to exabytes of data. Ceph leverages commodity hardware and
-intelligent daemons to accommodate large numbers of storage hosts, which
-communicate with each other to replicate data, and redistribute data
-dynamically. Ceph's cluster of monitors oversees the hosts in the Ceph storage
-cluster to ensure that the storage hosts are running smoothly.

-       different storage clusters for three different types of storage interface!
