SwiftStack CEO Published “Object Storage With Swift” Book ($30)

At the OpenStack Summit, SwiftStack CEO Joe Arnold released the final version of his industry-defining book, Object Storage with Swift.

Written for deployers, operators and developers interested in using Swift, the O’Reilly published book covers the fundamentals, implementation and ongoing management of Swift.

This is Arnold’s second book focusing on object storage and Swift. His previous book, Software Defined Storage with OpenStack Swift, published in 2013, focused on how to use OpenStack Swift as a platform for a SDS system.

Object Storage with Swift
Delves deeper into the components of object storage and covers the benefits and how-to’s of deploying, developing for and managing Swift.

“Today’s applications require an object storage infrastructure built for scale with global distribution. OpenStack Swift object storage is the de facto standard,” said Joe Arnold, CEO, SwiftStack. “I’m passionate about the benefits Swift object storage provides IT and what it means for enterprises. As Swift innovation and rapid adoption continue, I will continue to provide guidance to these visionary architects and developers.“

Each day, during OpenStack Summit, SwiftStack gave free advance copies to the first 100 attendees. Arnold signed copies of the book on November 4 and Wednesday, November 5.

The eBook is available for $29.99 from O’Reilly and on the SwiftStack website.
