Open source storage solutions, such as OpenStack Swift, have several benefits such as no vendor lock-in.
In his session at the 10th International Cloud Expo, John Dickinson, a Project Technical Lead at Rackspace Hosting, will explore the ABCs of Swift, one of the largest open source object storage projects, beginning with the question of whether or not an open source cloud storage solution is right for you. He’ll also explore real-world scenarios in addition to the lessons learned from building and running the largest OpenStack Swift Clusters in the world at Rackspace.
