Swift (OpenStack Object Storage)

Swift is an open-source storage system within OpenStack that allows for storing and retrieving large amounts of data across multiple servers. It functions like a highly reliable and scalable digital warehouse, where files, images, or backups can be stored securely and accessed anytime. Designed for durability, it automatically copies data to prevent loss, and can expand easily to meet growing storage needs. Organizations use Swift to manage vast data collections efficiently, ensuring high availability and redundancy without needing to understand underlying hardware complexities.
