If you like the general concept, you should check out BashReduce. As silly as it sounds, it is quite powerful.

Manta is an Object Store with Compute in-situ. The client is OS agnostic AFAIK - you can use a linux instance as your client if you want.

It's not "for" any particular system. It's a Unix environment.

How is it a unix environment? On the first glance i don't really get how it is implemented. That's why i supposed that this only runs on SmartOS. Is the object store software downloadable somewhere? The tutorial mentions creating an account on the Joyent cloud...
