DataCore's Swarm Of One Object Storage
Blocks & Files, Friday, May 17th, 2024
DataCore has released a single node object storage system for edge deployments.
Its S3-compliant Swarm product, based on acquired Caringo technology from 2021, has been containerized, using Maya Data OpenEBS PRO Kubernetes software, acquired in 2022, now enables swift local data processing with data stored, managed, and protected. A main benefit of object storage is that it scales out in a flat address space. A single node system prevents that scale out from happening, negating this benefit, but is worthwhile when edge applications need S3 protocol data access or other aspects of object storage software.
