@GuillaumeDelaporte So essentially any application that wants to be built using OpenIO (or any other Object storage) has to be prepared to build based around the REST API?

I take it at present time, that there's no way to "Mount" this like one would do with a file system?

Yes you can. We have developed a connector, build on top of fuse, to be able to mount a filesystem on top of our solution.

Yes, but applications and solutions which you can use are more and more compatible with this new style of storage (because it solves some problems you can face with other technologies).

NFS and SMB are supported. iSCSI might be too, not sure. Those features are in the paid for Enterprise version.

Correct. iSSCI is not supported ... yet.

And, of course, if you are building your own.

MangoLassi stores certain things in this manner, for example.
