It has been said OpenStack Swift is a great storage platform – for engineers.

Swift by itself is a phenomenal storage product. Truth is, in the enterprise, how do users interact with the data? How do you manage access permissions? How do you share data? The current answer to all of these questions is the same - become an engineer.

What is need is a modular suite of applications that you can grow and sculpt to fit an organization, and then re-sculpt as the needs evolve.

This session will show how to make end users productive and how administrators can simplify management and compliance of OpenStack data.

Traditional storage requests have become self service, in an intuitive interface, via any OS, device or App. OpenStack Swift is required to offer a similar capability ie. enable users to pick what works best for them, provide the same storage view from anywhere, let users securely share OpenStack data inside and outside a company if that makes the workforce more productive.

It is not “If you build it, they will come” anymore, today we face “If you don’t, they will go somewhere else.”
