Haters gonna hate, hate, hate: Cisco to tailor SwiftStack for UCS object storage cramming

General News

▤ Summary

SwiftStack provides the OpenStack Swift object storage software and has been a Cisco partner for some time. In January, Cisco released a SwiftStack reference architecture, Scalable Object Storage with SwiftStack and Cisco Unified Computing System, specifying how to design a UCS-based object storage system with LDAP and Active Directory integration, S3 support, CIFS/NFS access via the optional SwiftStack Filesystem Gateway, and 24x7 enterprise support. The example use cases were enterprise backup, active archive, Web application data repositories, file sync and share and general private cloud storage. Its main server competitors generally have in-house or OEMd object storage system offerings: Huawei is an unknown quantity. DDN has its Web Object Scaler and WDC, through its HGST subsidiary, acquired Amplidata.
