Asynchronous and Synchronous Transport Support.
Consistent Hashing and Distribution.
Tunable Hashing algorithm to match keys.
Access to large object support.
Local replication.
A complete reference guide and documentation to the API.

Objects are stored on servers by hashing keys. The hash value maps the key to a particular server. All clients understand how this hashing works, so it is possibly to reliably both push data to a server and retrieve data from a server.
