From 3PB to 20PB: Sanger Institute's Ceph Journey with Canonical

‎ ‎ 📍Subscribe. Fuel your curiosity. The Sanger Institute generates 55 petabytes of data, with 20 petabytes managed by Ceph. Its reliability ensures seamless operations, even during disruptions - so researchers can focus on breakthroughs. Following a move to an OpenStack private cloud to complement their existing batch computing infrastructure, The Institute initially opted for self-maintained Ceph storage. As capacity needs grew from 3 PB to over 20 PB, The Institute turned to Canonical for high-level Ceph support providing direct access to Canonical’s engineering teams to resolve the more complex issues. With Canonical, they gain access to upstream bug fixes, in-depth expertise, and reliable assistance for even the most complex Ceph challenges. This partnership ensures their infrastructure remains scalable, robust, and ready to support groundbreaking discoveries.
