Object storage provides resilient, scalable, replicated and redundant data storage of objects via API commands. The object storage system is also Amazon S3 compliant for maximum flexibility. Object storage provides resiliency to failures with no data loss due to automatic replication and recovery process inherent in our architecture.

• Storing images and movies
• Document backup
• Archiving logs
• Desktop and Server backups
• Static websites
• Email storage
• File Sharing

• S3 REST compliant API
• Enables seamless interoperability of applications developed for Amazon S3-based storage clouds.

Object Store Architecture

• High Availability with built-in failover so a single server failure does not impact the availability or integrity of your data.
• Allows unlimited scaling of both throughput and storage capacity.
• Large objects are supported with multi-part upload/downloads.
• Unique optimization, which handles traffic patterns depending on data size.

Security

• Group and user-level access to objects.
• Share one-time use or time based URLs.
• Buckets and Objects can be set read-only.
• ACL (Access Control List) or granularity of control.
   

Management

• Web-based console provides access from all your devices including tablets and mobile devices.
• Create and manage security settings.
• Upload and Download objects directly from your browser.
• Provision and manage buckets, users as well as your data.
   

Reports

• Generate configurable reports to view detailed usage statistics.
  

Object storage is different from Network Attached Storage (NFS, CIFS) or Storage Area Networks (iSCSI, FC) where data is stored on a filesystem and can be interacted with in realtime.

Object storage does not mount it like a traditional drive but use shell tools, programming libraries, desktop tools and even a web dashboard to interact with the data. From these tools data you can upload and control the data. You can share data over the HTTP protocol allowing you to offload static content to be served directly from object storage servers.

• High level of redundancy through replication
• Fully scalable as your storage needs grow
• Direct API access to data via S3 API
• Fine-grained access control to stored objects
• Easily add additional restricted access sharing to your data
