Contact at SUSE, and the guy at SUSE advised me[color=green]
Suse enterprise storage positioning is for cost/gb of use cases - data

and archival etc) ? is not meant to replace the tier 1 Storage.[/color]
No I don’t agree with the above statement and I don’t think it’s
SUSE’s aim for the SUSE Enterprise Storage (SES) product. You may

SUSE is building our technology on top of Ceph and deploying our engineering resources to build and deliver storage solutions. Initial use cases will target archive, object and bulk (block) solutions.
