RADOSGW

RADOS Gateway (RADOSGW) is a component of the Ceph storage system that provides internet-based access to data stored across a distributed network. Think of it as a cloud storage gateway, enabling users and applications to securely store, retrieve, and manage large amounts of data through familiar protocols like HTTP or S3. It ensures data is stored reliably across multiple servers, offering scalability and fault tolerance. Essentially, RADOSGW makes distributed storage accessible and manageable over the web, combining high performance with data security, suitable for enterprise and cloud-based applications.
