SwiftStack expands object storage to the enterprise data center

Some of the largest cloud deployments in the world – Google, Alibaba, Facebook, and Apple built their data centers from the ground up to stockpile data. They custom built their own storage software to keep and access data at a fraction of the cost of traditional data centers. A California startup, SwiftStack, is bringing some of the advantages of this approach – lower cost, massive scale, and reduced complexity to the enterprise level. This promises to give organizations an alternative to rebuilding their storage infrastructure or moving it to the cloud.
