While Sangfor hasn't publicly disclosed the exact storage management platform underlying its HCI solution, available information suggests it likely doesn't leverage Ceph for primary storage. Here's a breakdown of details and considerations:

1. Proprietary Storage Management:

    Sangfor HCI emphasizes its own proprietary, software-defined storage (SDS) platform specifically optimized for hyper-converged environments.
    This focus on proprietary technology suggests a different approach than directly employing Ceph.

2. Features and Functionalities:

    Sangfor HCI's storage capabilities align more closely with features typically associated with proprietary SDS platforms rather than Ceph's distinct architecture:
        Thin provisioning
        Snapshots
        Cloning
        Data deduplication
        Compression
        Automated performance optimization

3. Documentation and Marketing Materials:

    Official documentation and marketing materials from Sangfor consistently highlight their proprietary SDS platform, omitting any mention of Ceph integration.

4. Considerations for Ceph Integration:

    Object Storage: While unlikely for primary storage, Sangfor HCI might potentially integrate with Ceph for secondary object storage use cases.
    Flexibility: If Ceph integration is a strict requirement, consider alternative HCI solutions that explicitly support it.

Confirmation from Sangfor:

    To obtain definitive confirmation, the most reliable course of action is to reach out directly to Sangfor's technical support or sales team for a precise response.
