In remote, high-demand industrial sectors such as mining, oil and gas, and heavy manufacturing, data generated at the edge is mission-critical yet challenging to manage. This session explores how Ceph can be optimized for edge deployments in extreme environments where connectivity, power, and space are limited.

Drawing on real-world experience integrating edge-based control and monitoring systems on large mining machines, this talk will outline key design considerations, deployment strategies, and lessons learned from operating Ceph clusters at the industrial edge. Topics include rugged hardware selection, bandwidth-aware replication strategies, fault-tolerant configurations, and energy-efficient performance tuning.

Attendees will gain practical insights into:
• Architecting Ceph for low-connectivity, decentralized environments
• Integrating with PLC/SCADA systems and edge analytics engines
• Optimizing Ceph for cost-effective, high-availability deployments in the field

Whether you’re running data centers in controlled environments or deploying Ceph in rugged field operations, this session will outline how to scale storage reliably to the farthest edges of your infrastructure.
