Versity Open Sources New S3 Gateway

By ADMIN Team

Versity Gateway is licensed under Apache 2.0.

Mass storage and archiving software supplier Versity has produced an open source S3 gateway with an Apache license, reports Chris Mellor.

“The gateway will enable users to send data to an S3 store and retrieve it as well. Versity’s Scale Out Archive Manager (ScoutAM) archives data to object stores and tape libraries and handles multi-petabyte archives — with 60PB installations not unusual,” Mellor says.

According to Versity’s co-founder and CEO Bruce Gilpin, “MinIO deprecated their S3 gateway with its Apache 2 license. No credible replacement emerged. So Versity built one.”
