Micron 9200 MAX NVMe With 5210 QLC SATA SSDs for Red Hat Ceph Storage 3.2 and BlueStore on AMD EPYC

This document describes an example configuration of a performance-optimized Red Hat^® Ceph^® Storage 3.2 cluster using Micron^® SATA SSDs and NVMe™ SSDs, rack-mount servers based on AMD EPYC™ architecture and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) networking infrastructure. It details the hardware and software building blocks used to construct this reference architecture (including the Red Hat Enterprise Linux^® OS configuration, network switch configurations and Ceph tuning parameters) and shows the performance test results and measurement techniques for a scalable 4-node Ceph architecture.
