Design and Performance Evaluation of the Ursa Distributed Block Storage System

Ursa, a master‑based distributed block storage system created by Meituan Cloud, overcomes Ceph, Sheepdog, and MooseFS limitations by delivering SSD‑level IOPS and near‑theoretical 10 GbE bandwidth with low CPU usage, supporting large virtual disks, snapshots, high availability, and efficient replica‑striped writes.
