You can provide cloud-based object storage for archival backups, content delivery networks (CDN), and more scalable, high-availability, high-performing storage use cases. Here's how to install it.
 
 
== Pre-requisites for Swift ==
 
Object Storage (Swift) is intended to run on commodity hardware, meaning any computers that run Linux or Windows typically will do. Generally we do not recommend RAID due to performance degradation since it doesn't match Swift's design well.
 
 
You can install Swift as a standalone single system, slice, or VM. This method is typically reserved for development. You can install it in a lab environment or in a staging area. At Rackspace we have 36 storage nodes in staging. Finally, you can install Swift in your production environment.
 
 
The objects you intend to store need to be broken into chunks smaller than 5 MB.
