Ceph not only supports traditional block and file storage protocols, i.e. SAN and NAS, but also supports new object storage protocol, i.e. S3 and Swift, which enables Ceph theory to meet all mainstream storage applications. Besides, good architecture design helps Ceph to be expanded to any filed needing storage. Above-mentioned proves that Ceph works anywhere if there is a storage requirement. Therefore, as Ceph community declares: Ceph is the future of storage!
