The Swarm API made it possible to develop a callback file system to provide a traditional file system interface. This made integration with our document imaging system almost completely transparent. Through this custom callback file system, we were also able to implement additional features such as file encryption and file caching to further improve security and performance.” Additionally, Mr. Brown mentioned Swarm’s ability to gracefully manage disk failure without service disruption as a benefit. “We haven’t had any node failures, but we’ve had a disk failure. When this occurred, Swarm responded by automatically creating additional replicas on other drives. We were able to replace the failed drive and then Swarm rebalanced the replicas across all drives.”

"We're migrating all our storage to Swarm, says Van Eenaeme. "Since the basic functionality of our websites is free, we have to make sure we find the best solution for its value. It's not only the price per terabyte, but also the total cost per terabyte: How many servers you need, how many engineers are required to operate the systems, etc. It's clear that Swarmis a winner."
