Object Storage: Take Control of Your Data Without Limiting Your Growth

Of the three most common types of data storage—block, file, and object—only object storage meets all the desired objectives. Object storage enables you to store and manage vast amounts of unstructured data as objects. Each object has a unique identifier and contains metadata describing its underlying content. This architecture provides fast, efficient, flexible, and cost-effective access, even to very large volumes of unstructured data. Object storage is therefore a valuable asset for businesses, whether they need to store large amounts of data economically, support application development, or use metadata to meet compliance requirements and unlock the value of archived data. Our object storage solutions, available on premises or in Edwin, R2i’s cloud, provide high-performance, secure, affordable, and scalable storage for your data.

Scalability

Handle massive data volumes with object storage designed to scale easily without compromising performance.

Security

Object storage provides built-in encryption and advanced data protection mechanisms, including rule-based WORM storage and Object Lock, to keep sensitive information secure.

Simplicity

Access data simultaneously from any location. Benefit from automatic failover, data regeneration, automatic expansion, and rebalancing.

Data Durability

Ensure long-term data durability across a geographically distributed environment. Automatic replication across multiple sites supports continuous availability and protection against local disasters. Your data remains accessible and intact, even if a site fails.

Search Capabilities

Save time with customized analytics and search capabilities. Create custom metadata to unlock more value from your data.

Optimized File Access

Easily connect file-based applications to object storage.
