Chapter 3. Accessing Acronis Storage Clusters via S3 Protocol
To fulfill the request, object server transmits fixed-size messages with the object’s data to the gateway. The
last message contains an end-of-data flag.
3.1.5.4 Delete Operation
To delete an object (and its name) from the storage, gateway determines a name server’s identifier based on
the directory’s part of a name and sends a request with a delete operation code to the server. In turn, the
name server removes the name from its structures and sends the response. After some time, the garbage
collector removes the corresponding object from the storage.
3.2 Deploying Object Storage
This chapter describes deploying object storage on top of a ready Acronis Storage cluster. As a result you will
create a setup like shown on the figure. Note that not all cluster nodes have to run object storage services.
The choice should be based on workload and hardware configurations.
