MobileMe Chunked Storage

From The Apple Wiki
(Redirected from MMCS)

MobileMe Chunked Storage (MMCS, name is unclear: may also be MobileMe Chunk Storage or MobileMe Chunking Service) is an API that provides bulk cloud storage to back other services like CloudKit, iMessage, and others.

It provides a thin wrapper over other cloud storage providers such as Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage. When another service needs to allow the device to store bulk data, it internally asks MMCS for and upload URL and authentication headers. The service is responsible for implementing any necessary quotas or access controls.
