Scality open sourced their S3 driver just to make this process easier. Assuming your vendor supports all the functionality used in the S3 Driver, it should all work with the real object storage solution. Take an S3 Driver and run your application against that. You could always try it out to see if it worked properly with your S3 application, but that involves a lot of heavy lifting. In essence, the object storage industry, like it or not, is standardizing on S3 because everyone is using it.īut how can you tell if a vendor’s S3 solution is any good. This has driven every object storage vendor to also offer S3 “compatible” services to entice these users to move to their object storage solution. As such, other vendors and solution providers now offer support for S3 services whenever they need an object/bulk storage tier behind their appliances/applications/solutions.
AWS S3 is the largest current repository of objects.
It looks as if AWS S3 is becoming the defacto standard for object storage. But their other interface protocols are also very popular. Scality has been on the market since 2010 and has been having a lot of success lately, having grown 150% in revenue this past year. In the media and entertainment space, Scality has won a lot of business with their S3 support. He flashed up the math on this but it was too fast for me to take down:) Giorgio also gave a session on the RING’s durability (reliability) which showed they support 13-9’s data availability. Scality pricing is based on usable storage and you bring your own hardware. RING 6.0 brings AWS IAM style authentication to Scality object storage.
Scality also supports replication and erasure coding based on object size. Scality RING is a software defined object storage that supports a full complement of interface legacy and advanced protocols including, NFS, CIGS/SMB, Linux FUSE, RESTful native, SWIFT, CDMI and Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3. ScalityĪs you may recall, Scality is an object storage solution that came out of the telecom, consumer networking industry to provide Google/Facebook like storage services to other customers. Giorgio Regni, CTO, Scality, said on the two days a year it wasn’t foggy out, you could even see Golden Gate Bridge from their conference room. And the view outside the conference room was great. Scality was on the 25th floor of a downtown San Francisco office tower. We were at Scality last week for Cloud Field Day 1 (CFD1) and one of the items they discussed was their open source S3 driver.
