Ceph and OpenStack: Current Integration and Roadmap
Channel: OpenInfra Foundation
Date: 29/10/2015

Ceph is a fully open source distributed object store, network block device, and file system designed for reliability, performance, and scalability from terabytes to exabytes. Ceph utilizes a novel placement algorithm (CRUSH), active storage nodes, and peer-to-peer gossip protocols to avoid the scalability and reliability problems associated with centralized controllers and lookup tables.

The community has been very active integrating Ceph into OpenStack. This is getting better each release.
