Aleksei- This won't be a ceph answer. Most virtualization platforms you will have a type of disk called ephemeral, it is usually storage composed of disks on the hypervisor, possibly RAID with parity, usually not backed up. You may want to consider running your Cassandra instances on the ephemeral storage, this would alleviate the data redundancy at the application and storage level for the Cassandra service. Then keep backups of your Cassandra db on the Ceph storage. There are some benefits and drawbacks, the main benefit will probably be a latency decrease. You will need to evaluate the hypervisors you are running on, disk layout, etc.
