Hi John -

Here's an example architecture:
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-object-storage/admin/content/example-object-storage-installation-architecture.html

It shows five storage nodes, a proxy node, and an auth node (seven
servers). You could use five storage nodes with one of the storage
nodes also serving as a proxy and auth server. These would meet a
"production" requirement of replication (five copies means that three
servers would have to go down before you distrust the data retrieval)
- but if the production requirements were different, say speed of
retrieval was the highest need, then you might create a different
architecture. If complete safety and replication of the data was
highest priority, you could use 10 servers (just an example).

 Storage operators, feel free to chime in.
Thanks,
Anne
