|
* - Features
|
|
- Benefits
|
|
* - Leverages commodity hardware
|
|
- No lock-in, lower price/GB.
|
|
* - HDD/node failure agnostic
|
|
- Self-healing, reliable, data redundancy protects from failures.
|
|
* - Unlimited storage
|
|
- Large and flat namespace, highly scalable read/write access,
|
|
able to serve content directly from storage system.
|
|
* - Multi-dimensional scalability
|
|
- Scale-out architecture: Scale vertically and
|
|
horizontally-distributed storage. Backs up and archives large
|
|
amounts of data with linear performance.
|
|
* - Account/container/object structure
|
|
- No nesting, not a traditional file system: Optimized for scale,
|
|
it scales to multiple petabytes and billions of objects.
|
|
* - Built-in replication 3✕ + data redundancy (compared with 2✕ on
|
|
RAID)
|
|
- A configurable number of accounts, containers and object copies
|
|
for high availability.
|
|
* - Easily add capacity (unlike RAID resize)
|
|
- Elastic data scaling with ease.
|
|
* - No central database
|
|
- Higher performance, no bottlenecks.
|
|
* - RAID not required
|
|
- Handle many small, random reads and writes efficiently.
|
|
* - Built-in management utilities
|
|
- Account management: Create, add, verify, and delete users;
|
|
Container management: Upload, download, and verify; Monitoring:
|
|
Capacity, host, network, log trawling, and cluster health.
|
|
* - Drive auditing
|
|
- Detect drive failures preempting data corruption.
|
|
* - Expiring objects
|
|
- Users can set an expiration time or a TTL on an object to
|
|
control access.
|
|
* - Direct object access
|
|
- Enable direct browser access to content, such as for a control
|
|
panel.
|
|
* - Realtime visibility into client requests
|
|
- Know what users are requesting.
|
|
* - Supports S3 API
|
|
- Utilize tools that were designed for the popular S3 API.
|
|
* - Restrict containers per account
|
|
- Limit access to control usage by user.
|
|
* - Support for NetApp, Nexenta, Solidfire
|
|
- Unified support for block volumes using a variety of storage
|
|
systems.
|
|
* - Snapshot and backup API for block volumes.
|
|
- Data protection and recovery for VM data.
|
|
* - Standalone volume API available
|
|
- Separate endpoint and API for integration with other compute
|
|
systems.
|
|
* - Integration with Compute
|
|
- Fully integrated with Compute for attaching block volumes and
|
|
reporting on usage.
