Building an S3 type of Storage Cloud

Question

Are there any open source projects to build Storage as a Service type of Clouds like Amazon S3 ??

This is rather vague and hard to answer. Can you be more specific about the kind of project you're looking for? — , Aug 28 '11 at 08:10

Eucalyptus has a storage interface called walrus. It is exactly similar and compatible with Amazon S3 and it is open source. You can try Eucalyptus.

Take a look at :

Thanks :) both Walrus and OpenStack seem to solve the problem. But personally Walrus on Eucalyptus seems to be a better pick cause of the S3 integration. – Prashanth Raghu Aug 29 '11 at 13:37

You should check out OpenStack Swift, the open source object storage solution. Its already in production at Rackspace, Hpcloud, Wikipedia, Internap, Korea Telecom.

You should check http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/ Apart from that you can also check associated projects http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/associated_projects.html

Hope it helps.
