Abstract: This paper introduces the basic concepts and features of an object storage system. It also introduces some related standards, specifications, and implementations for several existing systems. ZTE’s Object Storage System (ZTE OSS) was designed by Tsinghua University and ZTE Corporation and is designed to manage large amounts of data. ZTE OSS has a scalable architecture, some open source components, and an efficient key-value database. ZTE OSS is easy to scale and highly reliable. Experiments show that ZTE OSS performs well with mass data and heavy
