for example, to have one cluster with four instances, two on each data center sharing the same storage cluster, so if data center #1 let's said goes down along with instances 1 & 2, you can still run the cluster with instances 3 & 4 on the data center #2 with the same storage cluster pool and no

What is the use case that requires you to have it in two datacenters? In addition to RBD mirroring already mentioned by others, you can do RBD snapshots and ship those snapshots to a remote location (separate cluster or separate pool). Similar to RBD mirroring, in this situation your client writes

Hi Guys, Our company has a use case which needs the support of Ceph across two data centers (one data center is far away from the other). The experience of using one data center is good. We did some benchmarking on two data centers, and the performance is bad because of the synchronization
