COSBench is a benchmarking tool to measure the performance of Cloud Object Storage services. Object storage is an emerging technology that is different from traditional file systems (e.g., NFS) or block device systems (e.g., iSCSI). Amazon S3 and Openstack* swift are well-known object storage solutions.

COSBench now supports OpenStack* Swift, Amazon* S3, Amplidata v2.3, 2.5 and 3.1, Scality*, Ceph, CDMI, Google* Cloud Storage, Aliyun OSS as well as custom adaptors.
