Application Scenarios

EC Turbo can be used to optimize the performance of erasure code (EC) data storage pools.

Ceph data storage pools are classified into two types: replication and EC. EC is a data protection method. The original data is divided into K data blocks (the K data blocks form a strip), and M redundant blocks are generated after the data blocks are encoded. You can restore the original data by using any K blocks in the K+M blocks. You can store data blocks and redundant blocks in different locations.
