CLYSO Storage Ecosystem

Beyond products: engineering ecosystems

CLYSO delivers enterprise-grade storage built on Ceph — designed for production environments where reliability, scalability, and long-term operation matter.

Our portfolio combines enterprise platforms with cloud-native ecosystem components, enabling flexible architectures from core data centers to Kubernetes environments.

Products & Solutions

Built for production. Designed for flexibility.

Ceph Upstream vs. CLYSO Enterprise Storage (CES)

Ceph Upstream drives innovation — CES brings Ceph into stable production environments.

Ceph Upstream and CLYSO Enterprise Storage support different operating models — from maximum flexibility to enterprise-ready production.

Ceph Upstream

Ceph Upstream is the open-source foundation of modern software-defined storage, driven by a global community.

It is ideal for organizations seeking maximum flexibility and full control over how Ceph is deployed and operated.

Key characteristics:

  • Community-driven innovation
  • Rapid access to new features
  • Full operational ownership
  • No enterprise SLAs
  • CLYSO Enterprise Storage (CES)

    CLYSO Enterprise Storage is a hardened, enterprise-ready Ceph distribution built for production environments.

    It is designed for organizations that require stability, support, and predictable long-term operation.

    Key characteristics:

  • Validated
  • Enterprise support with SLAs
  • Security-focused & compliance-ready
  • Predictable lifecycle management
  • Frequently Asked Questions

    These are the questions we are most often asked about our Portfolio.

    When should you move to CLYSO Enterprise Storage?

    When Ceph becomes critical, CES becomes essential.

    You should consider CES when:

  • Ceph runs business-critical or revenue-impacting workloads
  • Downtime or data loss is not an option
  • You need predictable updates and long-term stability
  • Security, compliance, or audit requirements apply
  • Your team wants enterprise support and SLAs
  • Operating Ceph internally becomes too complex or resource-intensive
  • Who is CLYSO Enterprise Storage designed for?

    For organizations running mission-critical workloads that require reliable, scalable storage with professional enterprise support.

    What is the difference between CLYSO products and ecosystem components?

    Products are fully supported, enterprise-grade solutions designed for production environments.
    Ecosystem components extend Ceph with orchestration, integration, and cloud-native capabilities.

    Together, they enable flexible storage architectures tailored to operational needs.

    Does the portfolio support Kubernetes?

    Yes. With Rook and Ceph CSI, the portfolio is fully aligned with cloud-native and Kubernetes-based platforms.

    Which storage types are supported?

    Object, block, and file storage — flexibly combined depending on workload requirements.

    How does Ceph CSI enable enterprise-grade storage for Kubernetes?

    Ceph CSI connects Kubernetes directly to Ceph block and file storage using the standard Container Storage Interface.

    It enables dynamic provisioning, high availability, and scalable persistent storage for stateful applications — fully integrated into Kubernetes workflows.

    When combined with CLYSO Enterprise Storage, Ceph CSI delivers enterprise support, predictable lifecycle management, and production-ready reliability.

    Why do I need Rook to run Ceph on Kubernetes?

    Rook automates the deployment and operation of Ceph directly within Kubernetes.

    It handles installation, scaling, upgrades, and health management, allowing teams to run Ceph as a cloud-native storage service instead of managing it manually.


    Combined with CLYSO Enterprise Storage, Rook enables production-ready Ceph operations with enterprise support and predictable lifecycle management.

    Why do I need backup and recovery for Ceph?

    Ceph ensures availability and durability — but it does not replace a dedicated backup and recovery strategy.

    Chorus adds policy-based backup and recovery, enabling reliable restores, compliance-ready retention, and disaster recovery for Ceph environments.

    Combined with CLYSO Enterprise Storage, Chorus delivers enterprise-grade data protection with predictable recovery processes and support.

    Where can I start if I’m unsure about the current state of my Ceph environment?

    The CLYSO Full Service Analyzer offers a free, structured initial review of existing Ceph and storage environments to support informed technical and operational decisions.
