To accommodate these changing needs, storage systems must be able to handle web-scale workloads with many concurrent readers and writers to a datastore.Some data is frequently written and retrieved,such as database files and virtual machine images. Other data, such as documents, images, and backups are generally written once and rarely accessed. Web and mobile data assets also need to be accessible over the web via a URL to support today's web/mobile applications. A one-size-fits-all data storage solution is therefore neither practical nor economical.
A company from San Francisco has tried to address this issue and has found immense success at it. Swiftstack was founded in 2011 to help operations teams implement and manage an easy-to-use, multi-tenant and highly scalable cloud storage platform.With SwiftStack,application developers and operations teams can benefit from SwiftStack integration and expertise to leverage the power of public cloud inside their own data center.
SwiftStack is a private cloud storage created for today’s applications.Its architecture allows its client to serve content directly from the storage, rather than provisioning extra web-server infrastructure. Flexible and robust management tools make it easy for the client to oversee growth and deliver to millions of users.
