Hi,

I have googled  and found some answers but they are not to the point I think. 
Why foundation choice object storage other than scale-out NAS?
I see some points about benefit of object storage(swift)

*        Storing billions of files.

*        Storing Petabytes (millions of Gigabytes) of data.

*        Use cheap servers

*        Can have several copy for each file
However a scale-out NAS could also have these benefits, if you build the 
scale-out NAS with open source cluster FS(for example HDFS), just like many 
Internet company did.
