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.

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.
