NCPs and NeoClouds operate at the intersection of AI infrastructure and enterprise service delivery. NCP/NeoCloud storage is mission-critical: it must perform at GPU speed, scale without disruption, and support the complex multi-tenant, multi-datacenter environments that modern AI clouds demand.
Cloudian HyperStore is purpose-built for NCP and NeoCloud storage requirements. Below are the ten capabilities that set Cloudian apart.
- Multi-Tenancy: Say goodbye to inefficient storage silos. HyperStore lets you share a single storage pool shared across multiple GPU clusters. Cloudian’s dynamic resource allocation, per-tenant configuration, RBAC, QoS controls, and per-user billing enable service providers to deliver isolated, customizable environments, without dedicated hardware per customer.
- Multi-Datacenter Architecture: A single Cloudian storage cluster can span multiple NCP / NeoCloud data centers with built-in geo-distribution. Unlike competitors that require separate deployments, Cloudian delivers federated infrastructure as a unified platform. Configure either erasure coding or replication across sites to meet your shared data access needs.
- Start Small and Grow: Start with as few nodes as your budget requires and grow without rearchitecting. Cloudian scales from a starter configuration to exabyte scale, letting NCPs align storage investment directly with GPU cluster expansion and customer demand.
- Exabyte Scalability: Modular, linear scaling of both capacity and performance means you never hit a ceiling. Add nodes and performance scales — no rebalancing penalties, no architecture changes. Designed for the data volumes that AI training, inference, and model storage require.
- High-Performance Storage: Native RDMA support for S3-compatible access delivers over 1 TB/sec throughput in a single rack. Cloudian eliminates the CPU bottlenecks that constrain traditional NAS and file storage, enabling GPU clusters to ingest and serve data at the speed of modern AI workloads.
- Full S3 API Compliance: Fully compliant with the AWS S3 SDK — every API, every call. Applications built for AWS run on Cloudian without modification, proprietary adapters, or API gaps. This makes on-premises and hybrid AI infrastructure truly portable and cloud repatriation straightforward.
- Intelligent Data Tiering: Policy-based lifecycle management automatically moves data across Flash and HDD tiers, and can tier back from AWS, Azure, or GCP to on-premises storage when repatriation makes economic sense. Optimize for performance when needed; optimize for cost when not.
- NVIDIA-Certified Storage: Cloudian holds NVIDIA Foundation Certification and is actively pursuing NCP-level certification — one of the first object storage platforms to do so. This validates performance and compatibility with NVIDIA systems, giving NCPs confidence in production deployments.
- Government-Grade Security: Cloudian carries FIPS 140-3, FINRA, CFTC, and NIST 800-88 certifications. Data protection includes AES-256 encryption with KMIP key management (quantum protection in progress), TLS 1.2/1.3, WORM/S3 Object Lock immutability, GDPR audit-log mode, and true multi-tenant data isolation.
- Hardware-Agnostic, Software-Defined: Cloudian runs on standard x86 commodity servers from any hardware vendor — Dell, HPE, Lenovo, SuperMicro, or white-box. No proprietary appliances, no single-vendor lock-in. NCPs can source infrastructure competitively, protect margins, and swap hardware without touching the storage layer.
Why Cloudian for NCP / NeoCloud Storage
Cloudian is the only S3-native object storage platform that combines true multi-tenancy, NVIDIA-Certified performance, exabyte-scale architecture, and government-verified security in a single software-defined platform. For NCPs and NeoClouds building differentiated AI services, Cloudian provides the storage foundation that accelerates time-to-revenue, reduces total cost of ownership, and eliminates vendor lock-in.
Whether you are deploying a greenfield AI cloud or expanding an existing NCP / NeoCloud storage offering, Cloudian scales with your business — from day one to exabyte scale.
