            Designing an optimised storage solution for any use case requires expert level knowledge, and many years of experience.
          </p>
          <p>Common questions that arise during design and build:</p>
          <ul class="p-list--divided u-no-margin--bottom">
            <li class="p-list__item is-ticked">Which deployment tooling should I use?</li>
            <li class="p-list__item is-ticked">Which version of Ceph should I install?</li>
            <li class="p-list__item is-ticked">What CPUs, Memory, Disks, NICs should I buy?</li>
            <li class="p-list__item is-ticked">How do I configure my network?</li>
            <li class="p-list__item is-ticked">Which workloads are suitable for Ceph?</li>
            <li class="p-list__item is-ticked">Can I use Ceph for traditional workloads too?</li>
            <li class="p-list__item is-ticked">How can I secure my cluster?</li>

            Canonical's Ceph consultants can help guide you through these and many other questions related to deploying a cost-effective and fit for purpose Ceph storage system for a fixed price.

            Canonical offers two Ceph cluster consulting packages, Ceph Cluster Build (CCB), and Ceph Cluster Build Plus (CCB Plus).
            CCB is a basic package to get your Ceph cluster up and running in a simplified configuration, and CCB Plus offers more consulting
            time to evaluate your needs and customise the deployment architecture as required.
