Most use cases for Swarm involve ingesting petabytes of unstructured data, such as image, video, and document files, which must be secured, preserved, searched, and retrieved on demand.

Direct Access | Native (SCSP API) | |
|---|
Web Access | Content Gateway (S3 API) | Data in the object store is presented via web browser (Content UI) S3 endpoint is provided Support for actions such as upload, download, and browse Back-end access to the object store are native API calls
|

File Protocol
Gateway | SwarmFS (to Native SCSP) | Provides translation of traditional file protocols (such as NFS and SMB) to object storage protocols Usually translates to object store native API Used as a “drop box” target for clients /or applications coded to work with traditional filers Advanced protocol gateway support for manipulation of metadata, in addition to data via traditional utilities (such as shell sessions) Placement into object store supports alternate access methods (SCSP or S3) and metadata queries, listings, and collections

Automated
Tiering | FileFly | Application/agent integration (native API integration) Agents exist on data sources (such as filers) Relationship The relationship between local file reference and data stored at object tier is maintained by agent software Data is moved from local to object tier based on policy (scheduled or ad hoc) Retrieval of data when client requests access is automatic and transparent

Disaster Recovery
Automated replication from a local object store to a remote object store
Data is usually populated in a local store, then replicated to remote /or DR
“Hot” sites can also act as replication targets /or DR for each other
Can be whole-site replication or policy-based (per domain)
Varying complexity in replication topologies supported (site-to-site, M to N, single or bi-directional)
