+======================
+ Ceph Storage Cluster
+======================
+
+The :term:`Ceph Storage Cluster` is the foundation for all Ceph deployments.
+Based upon :abbr:`RADOS (Reliable Autonomic Distributed Object Store)`, Ceph
+Storage Clusters consist of two types of daemons: a :term:`Ceph OSD Daemon`
+(OSD) stores data as objects on a storage node; and a :term:`Ceph Monitor` (MON)
+maintains a master copy of the cluster map. A Ceph Storage Cluster may contain
+thousands of storage nodes. A minimal system will have at least one
+Ceph Monitor and two Ceph OSD Daemons for data replication.
+
+The Ceph Filesystem, Ceph Object Storage and Ceph Block Devices read data from
+and write data to the Ceph Storage Cluster.

+
+Ceph Storage Clusters have a few required settings, but most configuration
+settings have default values. A typical deployment uses a deployment tool
+to define a cluster and bootstrap a monitor. See `Deployment`_ for details
+on ``ceph-deploy.``

+the Ceph Storage Cluster.
