Why Ncore Ceph RBD Gateway
Use Ceph block storage across the platforms you already run.
Simple, predictable licensing
No capacity-based charges. License the gateway and grow Ceph storage on your terms.
Dual-protocol flexibility
Support diverse workloads with iSCSI and NVMe-oF over TCP or RDMA.
Performance aligned to your cores
Assign CPU resources to storage exports for consistent, workload-focused performance.
Open architecture
From Ceph RBD to application-ready block storage.
Ncore Ceph RBD Gateway connects your Ceph cluster to standard block-storage clients without forcing changes to the storage platform underneath.
