Swift
Swift is an object-based, redundant and scalable data storage system. Files are written to multiple hard disks distributed across multiple servers in a datacenter. It ensures data replication and integrity within the cluster.
Main features
- Guarantees data availability, durability and consistency
- Ideal for storing "unstructured" data that can grow without limit
- Swift allows files to be sent via the dashboard or via an API
- Files are contained in containers
- The upload is limited to :
- 5Gb per file via the dashboard
- 50Tb via API (multi-threading DLO/SLO)
- The name of each container must be unique in each project
- Unlimited storage capacity
- Swift cannot be used to install an operating system or a database
- If a file upload is successful it returns an HTTP 200 code
- By default containers are private
- Possibility to make a container public
