It is comprised of an object store, block store, and a POSIX-compliant
distributed file system. The platform can auto-scale to the exabyte
level and beyond. It runs on commodity hardware, is self-healing and
self-managing, and has no single point of failure. Ceph is in the Linux
kernel and is integrated with the OpenStack cloud operating system. Due
to its open-source nature, you can install and use this portable storage
platform in public or private clouds.

the data. In an ideal setup, you must run at least three ``ceph-mon``

Ceph developers recommend XFS for production deployments, Btrfs for
testing, development, and any non-critical deployments. Btrfs has the
correct feature set and roadmap to serve Ceph in the long-term, but XFS
and ext4 provide the necessary stability for todays deployments.
.. note::
If using Btrfs, ensure that you use the correct version (see `Ceph
Dependencies <http://ceph.com/docs/master/start/os-recommendations/.>`__).
