The :term:`Ceph Storage Cluster` is the foundation for all Ceph deployments.
Based upon :abbr:`RADOS (Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store)`, Ceph
-Storage Clusters consist of two types of daemons: a :term:`Ceph OSD Daemon`
-(OSD) stores data as objects on a storage node; and a :term:`Ceph Monitor` (MON)
-maintains a master copy of the cluster map. A Ceph Storage Cluster may contain
-thousands of storage nodes. A minimal system will have at least one
-Ceph Monitor and two Ceph OSD Daemons for data replication.
+Storage Clusters consist of several types of daemons:
+
+ 1. a :term:`Ceph OSD Daemon` (OSD) stores data as objects on a storage node
+ 2. a :term:`Ceph Monitor` (MON) maintains a master copy of the cluster map.
+ 3. a :term:`Ceph Manager` manager daemon
+
+A Ceph Storage Cluster might contain thousands of storage nodes. A
+minimal system has at least one Ceph Monitor and two Ceph OSD
+Daemons for data replication.
The Ceph File System, Ceph Object Storage and Ceph Block Devices read data from
and write data to the Ceph Storage Cluster.
