Looks like fun. Back when "object stores" were all the rage this kind of layer was embedded in the network switch. My favorite flavor of that is one where you do erasure codes across a collection of services resulting in storage systems that look like more generic network traffic. Of course these days you would say "Why do I keep getting these weird mime encoded 512 byte blocks posted on my timeline Facebook?"
