How many options are there for an open source cloud storage product you can run at your own site now?
I'm sure I've overlooked a few, but the ones I'm aware of (roughly in chronological order of when they first became usable) are:
Eucalyptus's Walrus http://open.eucalyptus.com/wiki/EucalyptusStorage_v1.4 http://open.eucalyptus.com/wiki/EucalyptusStorage_v1.4
OpenStack's Swift http://swift.openstack.org/ http://swift.openstack.org/
SpiderOak's Nimbus.io https://nimbus.io/ https://nimbus.io/
Basho's Riak CS http://basho.com/products/riakcs/ http://basho.com/products/riakcs/
Glad to see so much interest in this space.
I think Basho made a good strategic choice with what they call "Per-Tenant Visibility", which will facilitate other cloud hosting providers that compete with Amazon reselling Riak CS as a storage service.

Yeah, OpenStack has that as well, from my understanding. I'm trying to figure out the other differences between the two.
- rarrrrrr 15y agoAccording to the GigaOM article, Basho is charging $10,000 in licensing per storage server, so I guess it's not actually free and open source software. :( Nimbus.io is AGPL, Swift is Apache, Walrus is either GPLv3 or BSD.
