1. Highest S3 API Compatibility

Cloudian is the industry-leader in S3 API compatibility. With a fully native S3 API, Cloudian’s AI data lake is the only S3-compatible on-prem storage solution offered by AWS. Unlike other S3 compatible solutions, there is no gateway or access layer.  The AWS S3 SDK is the Cloudian SDK. Your S3-enabled applications will run flawlessly on Cloudian, both now and in the future.

2. Military-grade Security

Cloudian HyperStore features the most extensive set of security certifications in object storage, including FIPS 140-2 Data Encryption Validation, signifying that HyperStore’s data encryption methods have been independently reviewed and tested. HyperStore is also certified to meet the requirements of SEC Rule 17a-4(f)CFTC 17 C.F.R. § 1.31, FINRA 4511c, IDW PS 880 (German) and OR §§ 957ff (Swiss) regulations, and meets the data sanitization standards specified by NIST 800-88. For ransomware protection, it offers data immutability with S3 Object Lock. With security built-in, plus data immutability and Secure Shell for intrusion defense, HyperStore 8 protects your data from hacker attack and ransomware.

3. Multi-Tenancy

Cloudian HyperStore allows multiple users on a single, shared infrastructure without compromising security. Data for each user is logically separated from other users’ data and cannot be accessed by any other user unless access permission is explicitly granted. Cloudian HyperStore gives role-based access to system and group administrators and to users. Users can select and provision storage services on-demand from a service catalog, all done via a self-service portal.

4. Bimodal Data Access

Leverage all information across your entire application suite. With bimodal access, HyperStore lets you access data in both file and object formats regardless of how it was written. Store data as an object, then retrieve it as a file. Or the reverse. All data can be available to both legacy and modern applications, giving you ultimate flexibility.

5. Industry-Standard Hardware Saves Significant Cost

Running on industry-standard hardware, Cloudian HyperStore saves you cost today, and even more tomorrow as you grow. Competitive systems built on proprietary hardware can cost a lot down the road as you expand your storage environment. With Cloudian, you always pay market price for hardware, both now and in the future.

6. Unified Object & File Management

Cloudian HyperStore File Services delivers SMB and NFS file services. Objects and files share the same limitlessly scalable HyperStore data lake. And files and objects are managed from a single UI.

7. Hybrid Cloud Support

HyperStore features cloud integration to support your public cloud initiatives. Tier or replicate data to AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud using policy-based tools. Use the cloud for DR, for extra storage capacity, or move data to the cloud for analysis. At the edge, leverage AWS Outposts with Cloudian as local, S3-compatible storage. Or add scalable storage to your AWS Local Zones implementation.

8. Geo-Distribution

Deploy storage anywhere with Cloudian’s geo-distributed architecture. Maximize data availability and performance with full control and single-screen data management. Deploy Cloudian at multiple sites and manage distributed nodes as a single system. Employ distributed EC to stripe data across sites for highly efficient DR capability. Your data can remain accessible even if a site is off line without the expense of replicating your entire data set at multiple locations.

9. Complete Visibility

View storage, networking and server metrics with Cloudian HyperIQ observability and analytics software. Identify trends and spot anomalies before they become issues. HyperIQ provides time-series data in a graphical presentation that makes it easy to view all aspects of your Cloudian infrastructure across all locations, all from a single screen.

10. Leading Performance and Efficiency

On an all-flash platform, HyperStore demonstrated 17.7GB/s write and 24.9GB/s read (measured with an industry-standard benchmark) from a cluster of six power-efficient, singleprocessor servers. Compared with HDD-based systems, this power consumption per GB transferred represents a 74% power efficiency improvement, saving cost in everyday operations.
