High Performance Object Storage - Public Cloud | OVHcloud

A high-performance, scalable, and secure storage space

Upload your static files (videos, images, web files) to unlimited space. Use them from your application or make them accessible on the web via our S3 API.

This storage space can be scaled up as your project grows, with no need to plan for it in advance. It’s the perfect place for storing performance-intensive data. It can meet the requirements of big data and artificial intelligence (AI), or simply help you get the most out of your data. 

Standard and reversible service

Our high-performance storage service is supported by OVHcloud’s technological innovations. Compatible with market standards such as Veeam, HYCU, and Nextcloud.

Use case examples

Backup your bare metal servers

Develop AI or machine learning applications and process high-power computing workloads using our Object Storage solution. You can use it to store high volumes of data, while enjoying high bandwidth and low storage costs.

Multimedia Catalog

Host your data catalogue in our Object Storage solution: recommended for applications with static content (images, text files, tables, sounds, or videos).

Migrate your data from other cloud providers

Migrate your data from any cloud provider to OVHcloud's S3 compatible storage, offering highly available storage at a great price. Incoming traffic to the S3 storage is free and outgoing traffic is charged at $0.011/GB.

Why migrate your data to OVHcloud?

Protect yourself from vendor lock-in

Maintain your data sovereignty with our S3 API. This way, you can move your data from any platform offering the S3 API to a provider that respects reversibility.

Control your budget

Get great prices for storage and traffic. You manage your billing through a predictive and transparent pricing model, so you won’t get any surprises at the end of the month. 

Adapt your application effortlessly

Update your configuration (the endpoint and credentials) while keeping the same application code and tools.

Usage

Create a bucket

# aws --no-verify-ssl --endpoint-url https://s3.[us-east-va|us-west-or].cloud.ovh.us s3 mb s3://test1

List your buckets

# aws --no-verify-ssl s3 ls

Push your files as objects in a bucket

# aws --no-verify-ssl s3 cp /etc/magic s3://test1

Features

Encryption

You can encrypt your data with your own key using an SEE-C feature that uses the AES-256 protocol. Sending data to the endpoint is also secure, and the data is encrypted using HTTPS protocol.

Versioning

Versioning helps guard against accidental file deletion or data corruption. It allows you to recover a specific and previous version of lost or corrupted items, even after it’s deleted.

Immutability

Your backup data is immutable. Thanks to WORM (write once read many), it cannot be modified. With the S3 lock feature, you can create different settings according to your needs, activity, and data type. For example, you can set a retention period or mode (legal, governance, or compliance).

Resilience

Get local redundancy in a region with Erasure Coding, so that the service is resilient to the loss of a fault domain.

Static website storage

You can create a website that contains only static content (HTML pages, images, videos) that is scripted on the client side. In comparison, a dynamic website relies on server-side processing to process data and help render content.

User Profile Management

Manage your user identities and access to your Object Storage S3 resources through the management of standard S3 JSON user profiles, with different read, write, or administrator rights.

Access Control List (ACL) management

By default, all resources (buckets and objects) and subresources (lifecycle configuration, website configuration, etc.) are private. You can change access to these resources by user or by bucket-based policy.

CORS

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a technique that allows resources from a client web application that is loaded from one domain to interact with resources located in a different domain. Enable CORS on your buckets to allow your web applications to fetch your files stored in OVHcloud Object Storage.

Access Logging

Server Access Logging provides detailed records for the requests that are made to a bucket. Server access logs are useful for many applications. For example, access log information can be useful in security and access audits.

Pricing Public Cloud

Object Storage Billing

Object storage is charged per GB, per hour. The displayed price indicates the cost of a full month of storage. Outgoing traffic from objects is also charged per GB.

FAQ

What Service Level Agreement (SLA) does OVHcloud guarantee for access to the Object Storage service?

The SLA guarantees 99.9% monthly availability for accessing the Object Storage service. For further information, please refer to the General Terms and Conditions of Service.

How do I access and/or manipulate data in Object Storage?

There are several ways of manipulating the data stored on Object Storage. To integrate this management directly into your application, you can use CLI, SDK, or S3 APIs. You can also directly use a client that is available on the market, or Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.

What is the limit for the volume of data that can be stored on Object Storage?

There is no limit. In other words, OVHcloud manages the service so that there is always space available.

Which Object Storage solution should I choose?

For performance-intensive needs, the High-Performance Object Storage solution is ideal. For uses where performance is not a primary criterion, the Standard Object Storage – S3 API is more suitable.

How does Object Storage work?

An Object Storage service works in a cluster with a large number of storage servers sharing algorithms to ensure data resilience. The service places and indexes data depending on which spaces are available. A cluster can be enlarged at any time.

What is the difference between a file system and Object Storage?

The two most important differences are the use of Object Storage for static data only, and the unlimited storage space the solution offers.

What’s the difference between Object Storage and Block Storage?

The differences between Object Storage and Block Storage are mainly the access modes and volume limitations. The Block Storage service provides storage spaces that are sized as required and attached to an instance. These spaces are managed by the instance’s operating system. Object Storage provides unlimited space, which is managed directly by your application.
