Accessing Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform Clusters via S3 Protocol
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform can export data via an Amazon S3-compatible API, enabling service providers to:

- run S3-based services in their own Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform infrastructures,
- sell S3-based storage-as-a-service to customers along with Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform.

The support for S3 expands the functionality of Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform and requires a working Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform cluster.
