Open Stack

Hello,

I am evaluating an object storage solution based on OpenStack (only 
object storage, no needs for Nova/Cinder).
The common way would be the use of Swift (which I have already played a 
bit with, the concept of the "ring" is simply awesome ...).
The other way is Ceph, it seams to be the "new challenger", in the way 
that it can handle file/block/object, but seams to be not ready yet for 
production use, and not very well documented (yet).

So the question is what would be the best technology to start with now ? 
I mean does Ceph could replace Swift in a near future (eg IceHouse or 
the next one) ?

Any advices are welcome, and will be greatly appreciated.
