Why did you guys choose Ceph instead of OpenStack Swift? Just curious.

  I'm not sure whether we've seriously considered Swift, but high bandwidth is important to improving our performance, one area in which Ceph seems to be the better choice [0].

    IIRC there was an issue (in Ceph) with performance in the case of many small files. Is that solved now?

    Swift only provides object storage and we need block storage.
