Interesting, I actually work on a large scale private cloud storage product which sells primarily to enterprise and government. Customers cannot get enough of it, and there is definite move away from traditional enterprise data storage using SAN/fibre channel and block storage over NFS, towards object storage on commodity hardware and HTTP/REST. AWS protocols are becoming the standard everyone uses for HTTP data, as it means applications built for S3 can usually just be pointed to a new endpoint. I do wish there was a real effort to standardize this however, because most vendors only really support a subset of the options and headers, especially stuff like versioning, multi-part-write, and Amazon has changed their spec numerous times already.
- ky3 12y agoI tried to search for S3-API-compliant alternatives to amazon. So far I've only come up with the S3 wikipedia entry: Google Cloud Storage, Openstack Swift, Cloud.com’s CloudStack, Cloudian, Connectria's Cloud Storage, Eucalyptus, Nimbula, Riak CS, Ceph, Caringo, and LunaCloud Some of the above may already be defunct -- do you happen to know any that I've missed?
- keypusher 12y agoThe product I work is called Hitachi Content Platform, you can see S3 listed under the "Integration" section of this page: http://www.hds.com/products/file-and-content/content-platform/ http://www.hds.com/products/file-and-content/content-platfor... I believe EMC has a similar functionality in Atmos. http://www.emc.com/collateral/software/data-sheet/h5770-atmos-ds.pdf http://www.emc.com/collateral/software/data-sheet/h5770-atmo...
