Swift (object storage)

Swift is an open-source object storage system designed for storing large amounts of unstructured data, like photos, videos, and backups. It works by breaking files into pieces and distributing them across a network of servers, ensuring durability and redundancy. This means if one server fails, your data remains safe and accessible. Swift is highly scalable, making it suitable for everything from small applications to massive cloud services. It's commonly used by businesses and organizations needing reliable storage solutions for their data, enabling easy retrieval and efficient management of information.
