Gluster indeed provides both block and object storage.

We use the Gluster Cinder driver
<http://docs.openstack.org/admin-guide-cloud/content/glusterfs_backend.html>
in production and, short of some initial hiccups, it's been running great.

I have no experience with Gluster's object storage support, though, so I
can't give an opinion about it -- just confirmation that it exists. :)

My personal opinion is to just use Swift for object storage. Sure you won't
have the whole unified storage thing going on, but you'll get Swift. :)
