The document discusses a Cloud Storage API that provides a common library allowing developers to access either Amazon S3 or Nirvanix IMFS storage services with the same code, avoiding vendor lock-in and allowing switching between providers by changing configuration parameters only, while focusing on website features rather than storage integration challenges and differences between provider APIs and pricing.

- 3. Challenges There is no single standard. Every provider has a different set of functionality and API. Pricing and SLA are different. More providers are coming. But you want to focus on your site features to compete.
- 4. Cloud Storage API A portability library to support accessing either Amazon S3 or Nirvanix IMFS (more to come). You can write against a single common library which will connect to either. By switching some configuration parameters your code can access either. You can focus on your site features.
