Object Storage

The Object Storage service can be used to store and retrieve files via a friendly HTTP API such as AWS S3 or OpenStack Swift.
Thanks to the popular protocol, it is compatible to any programming language and can be easily integrated to your applications using popular SDKs.

Storage architecture​

The Object Storage service relies on our highly available Ceph cluster and uses a 3x replication factor.
That means every object you store is copied 3 times on different physical servers, assuring a very high data availability.
For the S3 and Swift APIs, the Ceph Object Gateway is being used. It is a production-grade service developed by the Ceph community and has a very close compatibility with all the S3 and Swift APIs.

Object Storage is built into the console: open Object Storage in the left sidebar.
