Good news

If they merge with Gluster, will it be called Glusteph?

Its only a good news if CEPH doesnt become "An Enterprise" product. It is always scary when big giants takes over a promising fully open source product. Never know.

Seem that all current ceph entreprise projetcs (like calamaris admin web interface) will be opensourced too !
So that's a great news.

Maybe the commercial support/license will be higher. Don't known yet.
(If they put it in redhat storage server, this will be license by nodes and not by GB like currently)
