Hello,
I wanted to get an idea about what kind of use cases Object is being used for, and had some questions around that.

1.  What kind of use cases is object used for in the public cloud? What kinds of data are enterprises storing most commonly?

2. Is anyone deploying Swift within the data center for a private cloud object solution, and if yes, what are the use cases for that as compared to say, using a NAS solution within the data center? I am looking for concrete information on actual use cases in terms of kinds of applications and the kind of data stored.

3. Are companies building applications with object as the back end in mind rather than file which is the more common case? Any examples?

Thanks in advance!
