 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.

-	**Many Storage Interfaces:** You can use CephFS, Ceph RADOS Gateway, or Ceph 
-	Block Devices in your deployment. You may also use all three interfaces 
-	with the same Ceph Object Store cluster! There's no reason to build three 
-	different storage clusters for three different types of storage interface!
