I would like to see more possibilities in the UI for managing aspects of the RING as indicated in the roadmap for the next version of their product. I would like to see more features implemented with S3 since not all features are implemented in Scality RING, particularly features such as the possibility to manage all RINGs with one portal. I don't think they can improve the technology for structured data usage because it's particularly for cloud storage. It might happen in the future, but I doubt it.
It's a very good product, but for large-scale usage, it has limitations. Scality RING's lack of extensive testing and potential hidden limitations. While Scality provides precise architecture guidelines for sizing the storage infrastructure, Orange utilizes a different processor architecture for its Ovi servers, requiring additional optimization beyond what Scality offers. In essence, the product lacks third-party optimization capabilities.

If I had to choose a new aspect for the system, it would be the rebalancing. The ease of use during capacity upgrades would be the most important improvement. I don't know if they manage it better right now or not, but it was really horrible to extend capacity on Scality at the time that I used it. When you add new servers in the node or ring, Scality does rebalancing to split the workload across all the nodes and servers. It moves the data from one server to another.

Scality RING8 could improve by having more features. We have to use two automation tools to meet our needs. We would prefer to use only one.
