LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/28/12 -- Inktank, the only company to provide enterprise-level support for the Ceph open source distributed storage system, today announced that the company has joined the Linux Foundation as a silver member. As a member of the Foundation, Inktank will collaborate with developers and enterprises to meet ever-growing storage needs through open source technology.

Inktank has long collaborated with the Linux community through its stewardship of Ceph, the open source storage system that combines object storage, block storage, and a file system in one highly scalable, distributed platform. Ceph was integrated into the Linux kernel in 2010.

"Ceph is a leading distributed storage technology and is integrated into the Linux kernel," said Amanda McPherson, Vice President, Marketing and Developer Programs, Linux Foundation. "We are pleased to welcome Inktank as one of our newest members and important advocate for the Ceph project and look forward to continued collaboration to advance Linux and storage technologies."

This inclusion has been one of the primary catalysts for Ceph's global proliferation," said Bryan Bogensberger, President and COO at Inktank.
