A comparative review on Ceph and Swift open source cloud storage platform

Cloud Storage is one of the hot research topic, now a day's many enterprises or even individuals have involved in cloud computing related technologies and the various organizations are developing cloud storage systems some of them are open source and freely available to the client for example: GlusterFS, Ceph, LVM, ZFS, Swift, Sheepdog, Kinetic etc. Many researchers have worked on these types of open source cloud storage platform. They have studied and analyzed the various features of these kinds of storage systems but not focused on latest features. In this paper our main focus is on ceph and Swift cloud storage platform. We have compared these two platforms in depth with respect to many criteria such as consistency, data placement method, read operation, write operation, security and other angles in detail.
