Anyone here got any recommendations for paid cloud storage options? Given where we are I’m looking for piracy friendly options.

@cccc@aussie.zone The privacy friendly (and cheap) option is DIY with Ceph. Managing 100s of petabytes across multiple clusters with it and it's (mostly) smooth sailing.

What is the running cost for 100PB?

[-] mattes@lemmy.kussi.me 6 points 2 years ago

No way to tell as it depends on all kinds of factors, like workload and IO requirements. For example you could spin up a very cheap spinning rust Ceph cluster for archival use cases or you could have a very fast NVMe/PMEM cluster for compute workloads.

I am managing all kinds of installations.

And before somebody ask no, not piracy related lmao.

Unrelated but you can't reply to people from instance that's not federating? That's quite unintuitive

I could not even see your reply on the other account so no way to reply either. I only saw it by navigating to this instance.

I understand your comment but may need an ELI5 after looking at their site.

Basically it allows you to buy or rent your own physical servers and then use the free and open source software Ceph to setup your own cloud storage on top of them.

Depending on the scale you need, it's much cheaper than cloud storage providers, but obviously comes with the caveat that you need to manage everything yourself.
