The open-source stack, piece by piece

45Drives’ storage servers are built entirely on established, independently-maintained open-source projects. This section covers each piece on its own: what it is, why it’s used, and where to see the real code.

Ceph

Why 45Drives builds scale-out storage on Ceph, the open-source distributed storage system.

Houston UI

45Drives' Houston UI is a web dashboard built on the open-source Cockpit project — the easiest way to see the open-source storage stack in action.

ZFS

Why 45Drives builds single-server storage on ZFS, the open-source filesystem built to never silently lose your data.

New pieces of the stack get added here as they’re documented — this list grows automatically.
