The Swift storage project holds a unique place in the OpenStack big tent, as one of the two original projects (the other being Nova compute) for the open source cloud platform. SwiftStack is one of the leading contributors to the Swift project and also has its own commercially supported SwiftStack Object Storage enterprise product, which was recently updated to version 3.0.
In a video interview with Datamation, SwiftStack founder and president Joe Arnold details what’s in SwiftStack Object Storage 3.0 and discussed what lays ahead for Swift in 2016.
