Introduction

Micron21’s High-Performance Ceph Storage: Built for Speed, Reliability, and Scalability

Storage performance and reliability are mission-critical for businesses operating in today’s data-driven world.

At Micron21, we’ve engineered our mCloud storage platform with Ceph-powered mSAN clusters to ensure ultra-fast, always-available, and scalable cloud storage.

 

Enterprise Cloud, Built for Performance & Control

Ceph is an industry-leading distributed storage system known for its scalability, self-healing capabilities, and unified storage model. We chose Ceph for mSAN because it provides:

Predictable, Always-On Storage

No single points of failure with built-in redundancy and self-healing.

Limitless Scalability

Seamlessly scale from terabytes to petabytes without downtime.

Proven Reliability

Backed by major tech leaders and enterprise adoption.

Our mSAN Storage Design Philosophy

Unlike traditional hyper-converged environments that mix compute and storage - causing resource contention - we’ve taken a dedicated storage node approach for maximum performance and reliability.

Dedicated Storage Nodes

Compute and storage workloads are completely isolated.

Enterprise-Grade Hardware

Dual Intel Xeon Gold CPUs and high-memory configurations.

100 Gbps Networking

Ultra-fast connectivity with Cisco VXLAN fabric.

Optimised for NVMe Performance

High-speed NVMe storage operates at full potential with zero bottlenecks.

Storage Clusters

mSAN Storage Variants: Built for Every Workload

mSAN offers five tailored Ceph-based storage clusters, ensuring every workload, from high-performance databases to cost-effective archival storage, has an optimised solution.

mSAN Performance NVMe

For workloads demanding ultra-low latency and high throughput.

  • Enterprise NVMe SSDs – Unparalleled speed for mission-critical applications.
  • 100 Gbps Dedicated Fabric – Instantaneous data transfer and retrieval.
  • 3N Replication – Data redundancy ensures uptime and consistency.
 
 

mSAN Standard Hybrid

Balanced performance and cost with 10k RPM SAS drives.

  • Reliable SAS HDDs – Higher IOPS than traditional HDDs, offering solid performance.
  • Scalability – Easily expand storage without downtime.
  • 3N Replication – Ensures continuous availability and data integrity.

mSAN Bulk SAS

Affordable, high-capacity storage for bulk data

  • Enterprise SAS 7.5k RPM HDDs – Optimised for large-scale data storage.
  • Cost-Effective Scalability – Expand storage as data grows.
  • 3N Replication – Ensures data durability even in failure scenarios.
 
 

mSAN Geo Diverse NVMe

High-performance NVMe storage across multiple data centres.

  • Triple-Datacentre Redundancy – Geographically dispersed across Kilsyth, Melbourne CBD, and Port Melbourne.
  • 100 Gbps Dark Fibre Backbone – Secure, low-latency data transfer.
  • 3N Replication Across Data Centres – Protects against site-level failures.

mSAN Performance NVMe Encrypted

The same ultra-fast mSAN Performance NVMe - with full encryption.

  • Built-in encryption – Protects sensitive data at rest and in transit.
  • Ultra-low latency – No compromise on speed and reliability.
  • Meets compliance standards – Ideal for regulated industries.
