ECS multi-protocol access

ECS supports multi-protocol access, so that files written using NFS can also be accessed using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), OpenStack Swift, and EMC Atmos object protocols. Similarly, objects written using S3 and OpenStack Swift object protocols can be made available through NFS. For Atmos, objects created using the namespace interface can be listed using NFS, however, objects created using an object ID cannot. Objects and directories created using object protocols can be accessed by Unix users and by Unix group members by mapping the object users and groups.
