Ceph Storage Gets Simpler and Faster Thanks to New Collaboration Between ScaleFlux, ICC, and Croit
ScaleFlux, ICC, and Croit have teamed up to launch a turnkey Ceph appliance that simplifies deployment, enhances performance, and boosts storage efficiency up to 4x—making enterprise-ready Ceph more accessible for AI and HPC workloads. MILPITAS, Calif., July 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A new collaboration between ScaleFlux, ICC, and Croit brings simplicity, performance, and innovation to Ceph for NVMe-based storage in AI and high-performance computing environments. Ceph has long been valued for its scalability to exabytes, open-source flexibility, and support for block, file, and object storage. But its complexity and lack of native storage acceleration have limited adoption—especially among teams building next-gen AI and HPC infrastructure. This partnership aims to solve that. Together, the three companies have developed a turnkey Ceph storage appliance that removes operational complexity while enhancing performance. The integrated solution includes: ScaleFlux's CSD5000 NVMe SSDs, featuring built-in data compression engines that expand effective storage capacity by up to 4x. A capability that is managed using industry-standard NVMe Thin Provisioned Namespace (TPN) commands. Croit's enhanced Ceph management platform, which now supports automated configuration and monitoring of thin-provisioned namespaces. Croit has incorporated these changes into their advanced Ceph management product for easy deployment with 24×7 support, and will submit these updates upstream to the Ceph community. ICC's RAIO platform, a fully integrated and pre-configured Ceph storage appliance supporting up to 24 ScaleFlux CSD5000 SSDs, tailored to meet the demands of high-performance computing, AI, and enterprise workloads. 'Ceph has been a staple for scalable, flexible storage that won't break the bank on cost, but barriers around usability and performance limited its appeal for modern workloads,' said Eric Pike, VP of Business Development at ScaleFlux. 'With this collaboration, we're expanding Ceph's cost efficiency and performance all while enhancing ease-of-use for a broader range of users.' 'Our goal was to make Ceph more accessible while preparing it for the demanding workloads of today and tomorrow,' said Evan Miller, CEO at Croit North America Inc. 'By integrating thin provisioning support into both the codebase and our management interface, we've made Ceph smarter and offloaded compression to the drives, and will make these improvements available to the Ceph community.' 'We've combined the best of storage technology, software, and integration into a plug-and-play appliance that makes enterprise Ceph adoption not just feasible, but desirable,' said Alexey Stoylar, CTO at ICC. 'The RAIO system is built to deliver performance and simplicity, backed by ICC's global support infrastructure.' About ScaleFlux ScaleFlux develops innovative storage and memory products that accelerate the data pipeline, enhancing efficiency in AI and data center infrastructure.

Value Store Operator Eco-Shop Posts Higher Earnings, Revenue In FY2025
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- Eco-Shop Marketing Bhd recorded a net profit of RM204.32 million for its financial year ended May 31, 2025 (FY2025), from RM177.28 million a year earlier. The Johor-based dollar-store chain stated that the improved net profit was achieved despite higher operating costs arising from its expanded store network and the implementation of minimum wage policies. Revenue for the year also strengthened to RM2.79 billion against RM2.40 billion, underpinned by the net addition of 74 new stores during the financial year. 'Same-store sales growth (SSSG) recorded a marginal decline of 0.4 per cent, reflecting normalisation in consumer spending at mature outlets, partly attributed to product availability challenges,' the group said in a Bursa Malaysia filing today. The number of sales transactions increased 21.6 per cent to 114.8 million in FY2025. For the fourth quarter, the retailer recorded a net profit of RM49.41 million against RM63.27 million year-on-year. Revenue for the quarter, however, rose to RM688.98 million against RM640.67 million a year earlier, primarily driven by the continued expansion of the group's store network, with the net addition of 22 new stores in the quarter versus 19 in the fourth quarter of 2024. The total store count increased to 371 stores in the fourth quarter of 2025 from 297 in the fourth quarter of 2024. Meanwhile, the company declared an interim single-tier dividend of 1.0 sen per ordinary share or approximately RM57.5 million in respect of FY2025, to be paid on Aug 26, 2025. The entitlement date for the dividend falls on Aug 12, 2025. According to the filing, the number of sales transactions increased 12.4 per cent to 28.9 million in the fourth quarter of FY2025.
