Installation (Manual)
=======================
-The Ceph Object Store is the foundation of all Ceph clusters, and it consists
-primarily of two types of daemons: Object Storage Daemons (OSDs) and monitors.
-The Ceph Object Store is based upon the concept of
-:abbr:`RADOS (Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store)`, which eliminates
-single points of failure and delivers infinite scalability. For details on
-the architecture of Ceph and RADOS, refer to `Ceph Architecture`_. All Ceph
-deployments have OSDs and monitors, so you should prepare your Ceph cluster
-by focusing first on the object storage cluster.
