SWAP is a web-based distributed storage system for managing multiple collections. It interleaves data across many storage partitions on different nodes while providing a consistent namespace. Even though data is distributed, clients may access any stored data through any swap node. It has also been designed to be completely disposable, allowing for data recovery in case the SWAP software is completely deleted.
