When “good enough” storage becomes an operational constraint
Ceph can provide a foundation for cloud-native workloads. But as environments expand across sites, applications, and stateful cloud-native network functions, the operational burden can grow with them.
Everpure gives T-Mobile a simpler, more predictable all-flash data layer for cloud-native infrastructure. By consolidating capacity into fewer, denser systems, T-Mobile can support critical workloads with a more consistent foundation, reducing the infrastructure needed to power and manage, easing day-two operations, and delivering a smaller footprint for the same capacity requirement.
In an illustrative 680 TB comparison, Everpure FlashArray required one array and 3U of rack space, while the Ceph configuration required 67 nodes and 140U of rack space.
That comparison represents:
lower power consumption
Fewer nodes mean fewer systems to power and cool. In this illustrative comparison, consolidating the environment onto one all-flash array reduces the energy overhead associated with distributed infrastructure—helping lower operating costs while supporting a more efficient data center.
less rack footprint
Consolidate the same 680 TB capacity requirement into 3U instead of 140U of rack space. Reclaiming that space can help T-Mobile scale in constrained facilities, defer additional infrastructure, and create room for new workloads without adding more racks.
**Actual results will vary based on workload, configuration, data reduction, and deployment requirements.
Improve the outcome of your data layer
Simpler operations
Reduce day-two complexity with easier lifecycle management, non-disruptive upgrades, and no need for specialized storage skills.
Predictable performance
Support stateful cloud-native network functions and applications with consistent all-flash performance, including through capacity changes and growth.
Stronger resilience
Reduce outage risk and improve operational consistency with a data platform designed for demanding, always-on environments.
Lower power and footprint
Consolidate infrastructure with higher density and fewer nodes, helping reduce data center space, power consumption, and infrastructure sprawl.
