Cloud Object Storage

An object comprises of the file, its ID, metadata, and attributes. Metadata contains file information, making it possible to search and index the object with increased performance. Attributes contain instructions for reading, writing, and deletion privileges.

Objects are stored in buckets that can scale to hold billions of similar or related objects. The stored objects are further replicated to other buckets on physically separated devices in the cloud for additional redundancy and enhanced data integrity and security.

The user interacts with the buckets via the industry-standard S3 API, working out of the box with most modern applications. The fact that the app is the storage client expands the ecosystem beyond a single OS and makes data more easily distributed across multiple platforms, and storage devices.

The data written to the Object Storage is SSL-encrypted in transit and can be further encrypted at rest. For additional resilience, you can make your data immutable with the object lock function, replicate it across multiple nodes, or segment it with erasure coding for enterprise-level availability.

Media and Entertainment

Use object storage to store, retrieve, and reuse high volumes of image, graphic, video, or audio files and make them accessible to your users anywhere in the world at lightning speed. Easily scale as your digital content grows and let your team leverage metadata for fast queries and faster postproduction.

Content Distribution and File Sharing

Take the load off your servers by moving your app’s downloadable assets such as media, software, video, or audio files to Object Storage. Support collaboration between geo-distributed teams with information access and privilege regulation, noting each modification in the metadata.

Big Data Analytics

Store and access massive datasets and let your ML or AI apps take full advantage of unmatched Object Storage scalability, robust APIs, and rich metadata. Collect global IoT data efficiently and cost-effectively in a single data pool, extracting value from it or using it to train your machine learning platform.

Sensitive Data Archiving

Object Storage is ideal for businesses that require reliable elastic storage to ensure compliance with long-term data retention policies and maintain low costs of these operations. Protect your medical scan records, video surveillance data, or other sensitive write-once-read-many assets.

Data Protection

Store backups of all kinds of immutable data safely securely and use Object Storage as a perfect way of achieving the 3-2-1 backup rule or implementing an affordable DR solution. Automated data replication lets you restore assets quickly, keeping your business operational in case a disaster strikes.

Static website hosting

Enhance the speed and availability of your static web pages with minimum investments and no software upgrades, web server configuration, security upkeep, or other maintenance tasks. Object storage provides an inexpensive way to host static web assets such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.
