= UMIACS Object Store =
An object store is a web-based storage solution focused on reliability, scalability and security. It is best suited for public content storage/distribution, archiving data or secure data sharing between users. Our Object Storage can be used through the [https://obj.umiacs.umd.edu/obj web interface], the command line [[UMobj]] utilities, third-party graphical [[S3Clients | clients]], and even programmatically using many popular programming languages.  We support a subset of the Amazon Simple Storage Services [http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/Welcome.html (S3) API], built around a technology called [http://ceph.com/ Ceph].
