Crippling License Costs
Your CTO just mandated aggressive IT cost cuts, and the IBM Storage Fusion bill totals hundreds of thousands annually.
In-House Skills Gap
Engineering demands open-source infrastructure patterns, but your in-house team lacks skills to debug raw Ceph or handle multi-cluster replication.
Vendor Contract Pressure
You want to migrate off the proprietary platform but worry about losing vendor support mid-project, forcing rushed completion or a costly renewal.
IBM Storage Fusion → Rook-Ceph migration — your questions answered
How does migrating IBM Storage Fusion to Rook-Ceph remove proprietary licensing?+
Since we replace proprietary IBM Storage Fusion with community-operated Rook-Ceph, you eliminate all licensing costs. Your in-house team gains full control with no vendor lock-in.
Can we start the migration without ending our IBM Storage Fusion support contract?+
Yes. While your vendor contract is active, IBM Storage Fusion remains under full vendor support—no forced cutover. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues on the legacy platform as you complete the move.
What if we lack internal Ceph administration skills?+
Our fixed-scope projects include knowledge transfer and operational runbooks for your team. After migration, our managed services handle Ceph debugging and multi-cluster replication constraints 24/7.
How do you handle multi-cluster synchronous replication in Ceph?+
To secure synchronous replication across clusters, we design Ceph CRUSH maps and configure Rook-Ceph operators for your specific SLA requirements—validated with automated testing before go-live.
