Cloudian Object Storage

Cloudian HyperStore software is a fully S3 API compliant, multi-tenant, multi-datacenter hybrid cloud storage software. Cloud service providers use Cloudian HyperStore software to deploy public clouds and managed private clouds, and enterprises use HyperStore software to deploy private and hybrid clouds. It is secure, easy to install, infinitely scalable, extremely reliable, and backed by a proven, carrier-grade support team.

HyperStore software employs a fully distributed and replicated peer-to-peer architecture with no single point of failure. It easily scales horizontally using commodity hardware so deployments can cost effectively start with a few servers in a single datacenter and then scale out as usage increases to thousands of servers distributed across multiple datacenters managing hundreds of petabytes of data. Its distributed architecture with automatic replication and recovery services make it highly resilient to network and node failures without data loss. Similarly, when scaling the storage cluster or performing maintenance, changes in node availability are automatically detected without service interruption.

HyperStore software is the only cloud storage solution that natively supports AWS S3 API with 100% compatibility in terms of API fidelity and feature coverage. As a multi-tenant solution, HyperStore software provides a robust and flexible management console and API to facilitate user provisioning, administration, quality of service controls, usage reporting and billing automation along with flexible rating plans to enable a wide range of billing and licensing models.

The Smart Data Era

HyperStore is at the forefront of smart data with efficient, scalable storage for the Internet of Things. Enterprises can now run Hadoop analytics directly on HyperStore software and appliances. This in-place analytics capability enables customers to derive meaningful business intelligence from their data quickly, efficiently and economically as they realize market- and revenue-shifting insights.

Rapid Deployment and Comprehensive Support

HyperStore software is the perfect choice for cloud service providers and enterprises to rapidly, reliably and cost-effectively deliver cloud storage services. No development work is required to deploy a HyperStore software-based storage system, and it is a straightforward process to integrate HyperStore software with internal systems for user provisioning, usage reporting and billing automation. The software is offered with different support levels to accommodate all customer needs.

Fully S3 Compliant API for Seamless AWS Ecosystem Interoperability

HyperStore software delivers a fully s3 compliant API to deliver the broadest range of S3 feature coverage and 100% fidelity with the AWS S3 API. Its extensive feature set ensures seamless interoperability of applications developed for Amazon S3-based storage clouds. HyperStore software supports many advanced S3 features such as Multi-part Upload, Object Versioning and S3 compatible ACL support, location constraint and many more.

Object Storage Technology Distributed and Replicated for Maximum Reliability, Availability & Performance

Cloudian HyperStore software employs a fully distributed and replicated peer-to-peer architecture with no single point of failure. It easily scales horizontally using commodity hardware so deployments can start with a few servers in a single datacenter and then scale out as usage increases to thousands of servers distributed across multiple datacenters managing hundreds of petabytes of data. Its distributed architecture with automatic replication and erasure coding makes it highly resilient to network and node failures without data loss. Similarly, when scaling the storage cluster or performing maintenance, changes in node availability are automatically detected without service interruption.

Each HyperStore software implementation starts with two or more distributed nodes and then objects are replicated or erasure coded across the available nodes for data durability and availability. Administrators can configure the number of replicas or erasure code strategy required to meet SLA and cost objectives, including the option to replicate copies to other datacenters for geo redundancy and reduced access latency.

Multi-Datacenter and Multi-Region Support for Geographic Optimization and Virtually Unlimited Scalability

The software architecture offers a “plug and play” approach to scaling storage capacity over time by simply adding nodes to the data center. As nodes can be deployed with heterogeneous, commodity hardware, there’s no need to replace older nodes as newer nodes are added to the datacenter. HyperStore software can further scale while increasing durability by replicating data across multiple data centers (availability zones). Reads and writes are always performed at the local data center with remote replication performed in the background to avoid latency of remote writes. If the local data center is unavailable, the remote data center assumes reads and writes to support disaster recovery.

HyperStore software supports multiple regions with shared multi-tenant management (administration, users, groups, etc) to enable both geographic optimization and unlimited scalability. While groups and users are shared across regions for authentication, bucket names are unique across regions. Data can be placed in specific regions for security, policy, cost or other reasons. The software can be expanded to include thousands of nodes with billions of objects per region and millions of accounts across regions.
