Swift is part of the larger family of OpenStack. Swift should provide (haven't verified this myself) better integration with all of the other OpenStack components (Keystone, Cinder, Neutron, etc.).

Swift can integrate with OpenStack, but you can very easily run it stand alone, and many do. It has erasure coding, geo replication, and its a fairly well baked product.

Here are good overviews:

* https://swiftstack.com/blog/2012/09/16/globally-distributed-...

And how Rackspace runs it at scale;
