Hi to all,
i'm testing ceph to migrate my VMs from NFS.

I have some doubts about performance:

3 nodes
3x sata SSD 560/540MB/s read/write

In theory what speed should i achive read and write in MB/s? a 1GB network can limit bandwidth?

thank you!!

Do you have 3 sata ssds per node or in total so only 1 per node? Ceph performance heavily depends on network and also needs some ram/cpu to work good . Usually you should not go below 10Gbit/s network for ceph. Theoretical you cant archieve better then 100MB/s (1GBit/s is maximal 100MB/s) You also need to think about replication factor, so data needs to be written twice until a ACK comes to a write in ceph storage. So 2 of 3 repliacs need to be writen, and every write goes over the network.

Whats the reason to go for ceph for you personally?
 
In this test i used 1 ssd for each node.
my question was only for understand the theory behind ceph: assuming there ins't limit from network, how can i calculate the "nominal" read/write speed?

this is only a test to evaluate the best choice between ceph and a nas synology HA.

thank you!
