XSDS — Software-Defined Storage
Product details, hardware compatibility matrix, performance benchmarks, and datasheet on xloud.tech
XSDS Documentation
User Guide
Consume block volumes, object buckets, and shared file systems from your workloads.
Covers access methods, data protection policies, and performance configuration.
Admin Guide
Deploy and operate distributed storage clusters. Configure pools, CRUSH maps, storage
tiers, encryption, and capacity planning for production environments.
CLI Reference
Manage Ceph clusters, pools, OSDs, RBD images, and object storage buckets using
ceph, rbd, and radosgw-admin CLI tools.
Block Storage
Persistent block volumes for Xloud Compute instances — powered by the XSDS backend.
Key Capabilities
Unified Storage
Single platform delivers block, object, and file storage — eliminating the need for
separate storage appliances per protocol.
Self-Healing Architecture
Continuous health monitoring detects failed components and automatically re-replicates
data to restore the configured redundancy level without operator intervention.
Petabyte Scalability
Scale storage capacity by adding nodes to the cluster — no downtime, no data migration,
and no architectural limits on growth.
Data Protection
Configurable replication and erasure coding protect data across nodes, racks, and
data center rooms. Encryption at rest secures all stored data.
Performance Optimization
Inline deduplication, compression, and intelligent caching maximize throughput and
minimize latency. Automated tiering places hot data on faster media.
Multi-Protocol Access
Native object (S3-compatible), block (RBD), and file (CephFS) interfaces alongside
NFS and SMB gateways for legacy application compatibility.
Use Cases
Scalable Cloud Storage
Foundational storage layer for private cloud deployments — block volumes for VMs,
object storage for unstructured data, and file shares for collaborative workloads.
Big Data & Analytics
High-throughput sequential I/O and massive capacity make XSDS ideal for data lake
architectures, log aggregation, and analytics pipelines.
Content Delivery & Media
S3-compatible object storage with horizontal scalability for large media libraries,
software distribution, and static asset hosting.
Backup & Recovery
Cost-efficient backup target using erasure coding for high durability at lower raw
capacity overhead compared to full replication.
