Configuration and Deployment Guide for OpenStack* Swift* Object Storage on Intel® Atom™ Processor and Intel® Xeon® Processor Microservers

This Configuration and Deployment Guide explores designing and building an object storage environment based on OpenStack* Swift*. This guide focuses on object storage in cloud environments, where responsiveness and cost are critical factors. High-performance, energy-efficient microservers, such as those based on the latest generation of Intel® Atom™ processors and Intel® Xeon® E3 processors, meet these requirements. The guide uses data from recent benchmarks conducted by Intel® Software and Services Group on Intel Atom processor and Intel Xeon E3 processor-based microservers.
