Eliminate the Trade-Off Between Speed and Cost

< p>Most enterprises believe they must choose between high-performance object storage and predictable costs, a dilemma created by complex pricing models. Surprise egress fees often erode budgets, with data-intensive workloads seeing costs exceed storage expenses by 3-5x. This forces IT leaders into a corner, limiting data access to control spending.

An alternative model eliminates this conflict entirely by removing egress fees, API call costs, and minimum storage duration charges. This approach provides cost transparency and saves organizations 60-80% on typical cloud storage expenses. Performance is no longer gated by unpredictable fees. Now, organizations can access data as needed without financial penalties, aligning operational needs with budget realities.

Achieve Superior Performance with an Always-Hot Architecture

Traditional cloud storage often relies on complex data tiering, which introduces delays and operational friction. Restoring data from archived tiers can take hours, creating significant bottlenecks for urgent recovery operations. This fragility leads to lifecycle policy drift and API timeouts, impacting application stability.

An "Always-Hot" object storage model ensures all data is immediately accessible with predictable, low latencies. This design choice can lead to up to 20% faster backup performance compared to traditional tiered storage. By avoiding fragile tiering, you eliminate restore delays and hidden operational costs. The following benefits are inherent to this architecture:

• Strong read/write consistency for mixed workloads.
• Predictable latencies for millions of small or large files.
• Multi-AZ replication for enhanced data integrity.
• No restore fees or frustrating waiting periods for data access.

This streamlined approach simplifies operations and strengthens recovery capabilities, a critical factor for business continuity. You can find more details in our guide to the fastest enterprise object storage.

Maintain Full S3 Compatibility Without Rewrites

The true measure of the fastest S3 object storage is not just raw speed but also seamless integration. IT leaders require drop-in replacements that work with existing tools and workflows without feature gaps. A fully compatible solution protects past investments and minimizes migration risk, accelerating time-to-value.

Full S3-API compatibility ensures your existing applications, scripts, and tools continue working by simply changing the endpoint. This goes beyond basic operations to include advanced capabilities like versioning, lifecycle management, and event notifications. This 1-to-1 compatibility prevents the need for expensive code rewrites. It also provides out-of-the-box integrations with leading backup tools, making the transition smooth and efficient.

Integrate Ransomware Protection without Performance Loss

< p>With backup infrastructure being a primary target for cyberattacks, robust security is non-negotiable. Immutable storage and Object Lock capabilities are essential for modern ransomware protection. These features prevent data from being altered or deleted, ensuring a clean recovery point after an attack.

Implementing these security measures should not come at the expense of performance. An effective architecture integrates multi-layer encryption (in transit and at rest) and Object Lock without introducing latency. This ensures your data is both secure and immediately accessible. The following security and compliance features are standard:

1. Immutable Storage / Object Lock for ransomware defense.
2. Identity and Access Management (IAM) with MFA/RBAC.
3. Enterprise-grade compliance certifications like SOC 2 and ISO 27001.
4. Country-level geofencing to keep data in predefined regions.

This combination of speed and security provides a resilient posture against modern threats. Explore our object storage offerings for more details.

Empower MSPs with Predictable Margins and Performance

For Managed Service Providers (MSPs), resellers, and system integrators, profitability hinges on predictability. Unpredictable egress and API fees from hyperscalers erode margins on Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS) and Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) offerings. A predictable cost model is a significant competitive advantage.

A platform designed for the channel provides stable, defensible margins by eliminating surprise fees. MSPs can quote with confidence, knowing their costs will not change unexpectedly. This is complemented by partner-ready features like a multi-tenant console, automation via API/CLI, and simplified reporting. Fast onboarding and local support for North American partners further enhance the value proposition, allowing MSPs to deliver cost-efficient and reliable services. This is a key part of our cloud storage pricing philosophy.

Build a Future-Proof Strategy with a Built-In Exit Plan

Vendor lock-in is a top concern for over 70% of enterprise IT leaders, creating significant strategic risk. Punitive egress fees and proprietary APIs make switching cloud providers prohibitively expensive. A true alternative solution must be built on open standards to preserve long-term freedom of action.

The combination of 100% S3 compatibility and a zero-egress-fee policy provides a built-in exit strategy. You can move your data at any time without financial penalty. This preserves your negotiation power and ensures you are not trapped by a single vendor. Data portability and interoperability are guaranteed by design, giving you complete control over your data and your technology stack. This is the foundation for a truly independent and cost-effective S3 storage strategy.
