- <title>Managing Unified File and Object Storage</title>
- <para>Unified File and Object Storage (UFO) unifies NAS and object storage technology. It
-provides a system for data storage that enables users to access the same data, both as an object and as a
-file, thus simplifying management and controlling storage costs.
-
-</para>
- <para>Unified File and Object Storage is built upon Openstack&apos;s Object Storage Swift. Open Stack Object Storage allows users to store and retrieve files and content through a simple Web Service (REST: Representational State Transfer) interface as objects and GlusterFS, allows users to store and retrieve files using Native Fuse and NFS mounts. It uses GlusterFS as a backend file system for Open Stack Swift. It also leverages on Open Stack Swift&apos;s web interface for storing and retrieving files over the web combined with GlusterFS features like scalability and high availability, replication, elastic volume management for data management at disk level.</para>
- <para>Unified File and Object Storage technology enables enterprises to adopt and deploy
-cloud storage solutions. It allows users to access and modify data as objects from a
-REST interface along with the ability to access and modify files from NAS interfaces including NFS
-and CIFS. In addition to decreasing cost and making it faster and easier to access object data,
-it also delivers massive scalability, high availability and replication of object storage.
-Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers can utilize GlusterFS Unified File and Object Storage technology to enable their own cloud
-storage service. Enterprises can use this technology to accelerate the process of preparing file-based
-applications for the cloud and simplify new application development for cloud computing
-environments.
-
-</para>
- <para>OpenStack Object Storage is scalable object storage system and it is not a traditional file system. You will not be able to mount this system like traditional SAN or NAS
-volumes and perform POSIX compliant operations. </para>

- <title>Components of Object Storage</title>
- <para>The major components of Object Storage are:
- </para>
- <para><emphasis role="bold">Proxy Server</emphasis>
-
-</para>
- <para>All REST requests to the UFO are routed through the Proxy Server.
-
-
-</para>
- <para><emphasis role="bold">Objects and Containers </emphasis></para>
- <para>An object is the basic storage entity and any optional metadata that represents the data
-you store. When you upload data, the data is stored as-is (with no compression or encryption).
-
-</para>
- <para>A container is a storage compartment for your data and provides a way for you to organize
-your data. Containers can be visualized as directories in a Linux system. Data must be stored in a container and hence objects are created within a container.
-
-</para>
- <para>It implements objects as files and directories under the container. The object name is a &apos;/&apos; separated path and UFO maps it to directories until the last name in the path, which is marked as a file. With this approach, objects can be accessed as files and directories from native GlusterFS (FUSE) or NFS mounts by providing the &apos;/&apos; separated path.</para>
- <para><emphasis role="bold">Accounts and Account Servers</emphasis></para>
- <para>The OpenStack Object Storage system is designed to be used by many different storage
-consumers. Each user is associated with one or more accounts and must identify themselves using an authentication system. While authenticating, users must provide the name of the account for which the authentication is requested.
-
-</para>
- <para>UFO implements accounts as GlusterFS volumes. So, when a user is granted read/write permission on an account, it means that that user has access to all the data available on that GlusterFS volume.
-
-
-
-
-</para>
- <para><emphasis role="bold">Authentication and Access Permissions</emphasis>
-
-</para>
- <para>You must authenticate against an authentication service to receive OpenStack Object
-Storage connection parameters and an authentication token. The token must be passed
-in for all subsequent container or object operations. One authentication service that you
-can use as a middleware example is called <literal>tempauth</literal>.</para>
- <para>By default, each user has their own storage account and has full access to that
-account. Users must authenticate with their credentials as described above, but once
-authenticated they can manage containers and objects within that account. If a user wants to access the content from another account, they must have API access key or a session token provided by their authentication system.</para>

- <title>Configuring Proxy Server</title>
- <para>The Proxy Server is responsible for connecting to the rest of the OpenStack Object Storage architecture. For each request, it looks up the location of the account, container, or object in the ring and route the request accordingly. The public API is also exposed through the proxy server. When objects are streamed to or from an object server, they are streamed directly through the proxy server to or from the user – the proxy server does not spool them.
-</para>
- <para>The configurable options pertaining to proxy server are stored in <filename>/etc/swift/proxy-server.conf</filename>. The following is the sample <filename>proxy-server.conf</filename> file:</para>
