EMC Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) is a stateful containerized cloud storage. It provides persistence for your applications that can access data through standardized Object protocols like AWS S3 or OpenStack Swift. ECS can be set up on one or more hosts / VMs in a single-site or a multi-site geo replicated configuration. We want the wider community to use ECS and provide feedback. Usage of this software is under the following End User License Agreement.
This EMC Software License Agreement (the “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between EMC Corporation, with a principal office at 176 South Street, Hopkinton, MA 01748 USA (“EMC”) and you and the organization on whose behalf you are accessing this Agreement (the “Customer”) and governs Customer’s access to, downloading of, and use of any and all components, associated media, printed materials, documentation, and programming accessed via the EMC software (the “Software”).
By clicking on the “Agree” or check box or similar button set forth below, or by downloading, installing, or using the Software, you are representing to EMC that (i) you are authorized to legally bind the Customer, and (ii) you are agreeing on behalf of the Customer that the terms of this Agreement shall govern the relationship of the parties with regard to the Software.
If you do not have authority to agree to the terms of this Agreement, or do not accept the terms of this Agreement, click on the “Cancel” or similar button or discontinue your efforts to download the Software, and the registration, download and/or installation process will not continue. In such event, no access to, or authorization to download or use the Software, is granted by EMC.
EMC and Customer enter into this Agreement and this Agreement shall become effective on the date on which Customer clicks on the “Agree” button described above or downloads, installs or uses the Software, whichever occurs first (the “Effective Date”).

EMC may terminate licenses, without liability, if Customer breaches this Agreement and fails to cure within thirty (30) days after receipt of EMC’s written notice thereof. Upon termination, Customer shall cease all use and return or certify destruction of Software (including copies) to EMC. Customer shall not, without EMC's prior written consent, use the Software in a production environment, service bureau capacity, or copy, provide, disclose or otherwise make available Software in any form to anyone other than Customer's agents, employees, consultants or independent contractors (“Personnel”), who shall use Software solely for Customer's internal business purposes in a manner consistent with this Agreement.
