Ambedded Mars 400

Ceph is a distributed open source SDS system that provides access to object, block and file storage. Ambedded's server lineup combines these capabilities in the specially developed Mars 400 appliance. The Ambedded developers have taken a new approach and have virtually emulated the Ceph architecture with hardware. In this way, they created servers that are optimally adapted to Ceph, while at the same time operating extremely economically with their ARM processors. Each CPU is assigned an SSD or HDD and thus forms an independent microserver. As many as eight of these micro servers operate in a 1U appliance from Ambedded. Thus, with this efficient technology, it is possible that an HA cluster with 21 hard disks, 24 SSDs and 24 processors on 3U requires less than 400 watts of power.
