BENCHMARKING CEPH`S BLUESTORE

With last Year's Luminous release, CEPH stabilized the BlueStore backend. With BlueStore, CEPH does no longer rely on XFS for storing data to disk. This boasts various benefits, chief among which is better performance. Before deploying our new OpenStack cloud, we benchmarked the new BlueStore backend and compared it to classic CEPH setups.
