FUTURE PLC
NAME : TOBY JACKSON , TITLE : GLOBAL SRE LEAD
“ Future PLC has grown in recent years through acquisition of over a dozen media brands and technology companies , bringing a complex and diverse data ecosystem . Future operates services on both cloud and on-premises infrastructure , leveraging technologies that need to balance value and flexibility . Future ' s technology team has also grown and diversified to meet these demands , requiring their SRE team to provide ever more robust and flexible solutions without compromising on stability or performance . As a content publisher , data is integral to Future ' s operation , and Ceph was the clear choice to ensure its technology teams had the tools at their disposal to manage data at scale . Ceph allows Future to deploy storage across its datacenters , trusting that its data is distributed and available while enabling its development teams to self-manage storage requirements from Kubernetes with ease .
Future requires a storage solution that can not only grow in volume , but can handle diversity of locality , performance , distribution and access models ; Ceph affords this flexibility under a common platform , reducing deployment complexity and simplifying its operational costs .”

TIRTOKUNTJORO , TITLE : CTO
“ We have deployed , run and tested Ceph storage in our development environment for 2 years . Once confident with the solution , we decided to build Openstack Cloud using Ceph storage to provide IaaS , PaaS and SaaS to SMEs in Indonesia . We have considered several storage solutions to work with our OpenStack cloud , including legacy storage and software-defined storage . As our cloud service targets SMEs , we need a solution that is cost-efficient , cloud-native ready , scalable , reliable , resilient , and with good performance . We found Ceph storage to be a perfect fit after 2 + year trial experience . Furthermore , as we have three data centers located in 3 different sites , the RBD mirroring and simplicity to backup data from one data center to another in the Ceph cluster enhances our belief in choosing Ceph storage .
BLOOMBERG
NAME : MATTHEW LEONARD , TITLE : ENGINEERING MANAGER ,
STORAGE
Data is at the heart of Bloomberg ’ s technologies , which produce and distribute some of the most critical and valuable data in global business . Maintaining the systems which store and process this data requires a unique mix of commodity hardware , open source software-defined storage , and vendor-agnostic appliance-based storage solutions .
In our diverse storage ecosystem , Bloomberg utilizes Ceph ’ s enterprise-level scalability and durability to support different applications and varied workloads across our organization . Ceph plays a significant role in Bloomberg ' s OpenStackpowered private cloud computing infrastructure , as well as underpins Bloomberg ’ s private S3-based object stores . As Bloomberg works toward contributing back to the Ceph project , we feel it is the right distributed storage technology for us -- both now and into the foreseeable future .
