We are now entering the 3rd year of the project. It is time to disseminate the outcomes of IOStack and let the European Big Data and storage ecosystem to benefit from them.
This is the case of a new collaborator with the IOStack project: OpenIO. OpenIO is a French company specialized in software-defined storage and scalability challenges. OpenIO converges an application grid to run computations on top of an object storage platform. But wait, there is even more. They adopt an open source model; this means that the code of OpenIO is available to the open source community!
As you can see, there are many points in common with our objectives in the project. But now that OpenIO is seriously approaching Big Data workloads, our collaboration on object storage technologies was unavoidable (e.g., Crystal, Stocator). For a great explanation on this story, we refer to the post of OpenIO's blog.
This can be the beginning of a beautiful partnership :)
