SwiftStack Launches Book: Object Storage with Swift

At the OpenStack Summit, SwiftStack, Inc.‘s CEO Joe Arnold released his new industry-defining book, Object Storage with Swift.

Written for deployers, operators and developers interested in using Swift, the O’Reilly Media, Inc.‘s 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 software-defined storage system. Object Storage with Swift builds on this, delving deeper into the components of object storage and covering 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.”

An early release eBook is currently available for $29.99 from O’Reilly, and a free rough cut is also available on Safari for subscribers. A print version of the book will be available this September for $29.99 from O’Reilly or through SwiftStack by emailing.
