Why we chose Ceph as part of our storage-related solutions for production-scale AI

Stelia chose Ceph over MinIO as part of their storage solution for production-scale AI, prioritizing long-term durability (Day 1,000) over ease of initial setup (Day 1). While MinIO offers impressive speed and developer experience, growing concerns about supply chain risk and the widening gap between its open-source and commercial offerings led Stelia to invest in Ceph, a community-governed foundation better suited for petabyte-scale GPU training pipelines and RAG workflows.
