The tiering manager aims to improve metadata access and deliver more consistent cluster performance and lower latency. Additional enhancements cover NVMe\/TCP gateway administration, S3 object discovery and bulk management, dashboard-based virtual-host configuration, and CephFS subvolume quarantine following ransomware or malicious filesystem tampering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\">Read on for more\u2192 <span class=\"inline-flex\" aria-label=\"IBM Storage Ceph accelerates cluster performance\" data-state=\"closed\"><a class=\"reset interactable cursor-pointer decoration-1 underline-offset-1 text-super-primary hover:underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blocksandfiles.com\/object\/2026\/10\/15\/ibm-storage-ceph-accelerates-cluster-performance\/5303199\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span class=\"text-box-trim-both\">IBM Storage Ceph Accelerates Cluster Performance<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"vast-data-and-digitalocean-unify-storage-search-an\" class=\"font-semibold leading-tight text-pretty mb-2 mt-4 [[data-has-inline-images]_&amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+&amp;]:mt-4\"><strong>VAST Data And DigitalOcean Unify Storage, Search, And Context For AI Agents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"my-2 [&amp;+p]:mt-4 [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">VAST Data and DigitalOcean have expanded their partnership to deploy the VAST AI Operating System within DigitalOcean\u2019s AI-Native Cloud. The collaboration supports Agent Data Services, a managed layer where agents read enterprise context and write back what they learn, with documents, images, video, logs, and traces indexed as they arrive.
