Abstract :
Many application classes, such as archiving, backup of thousands of nodes in an organization, video sharing, etc., require highly reliable and scalable storage systems. Since it is now feasible to build such storage systems with advanced open source technologies, the challenge becomes how to best utilize those technologies to build and operate such a storage system with optimized cost and performance. The focus of this work is to provide an effective solution and key insights for this challenge within the context of the OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) platform.
