Inktank Ceph Enterprise Support Policies

Updated -

Providing the tools you need to confidently run production Ceph clusters at scale, Inktank Ceph Enterprise significantly improves the economics and management of storage.

Support Matrix

Supported Configurations

Every Inktank Ceph Enterprise release is tested and supported on a variety of market-leading operating systems. Red Hat provides production support for Red Hat’s Inktank Ceph Enterprise running on certain supported configurations (a “Supported Configuration”) according to your subscription agreement as long as your support issue is within the context of using Red Hat’s Inktank Ceph Enterprise.

Red Hat expects that customers will remain on a Supported Configuration to receive support. In the event that an operating system or OpenStack version is no longer supported by its vendor, Red Hat may be limited in its ability to provide support and may require you to reproduce the issue in a supported environment for continued assistance.
