The object storage solution, based on Cloudian HyperStore®, can be managed directly from VMware vCloud Director, a key component of the VMware Cloud Provider Platform.

Erasure Coding (EC) is a method of data protection in which data is fragmented, expanded, and encrypted with redundant pieces of data and stored in different locations or on different storage media.

Opt for redundant backup of the data. With the "Pro EU" option, your data is additionally backed up from the Swiss data center to a data center in the EU (Frankfurt). With the option "Pro CH" your data will be backed up twice in Switzerland.

Cloudian HyperStore® appliances are built on a robust object storage platform for handling massive amounts of unstructured data. It features almost unlimited scalability, geographic independence and multi-tenancy.

Object Lock prevents deletion of object versions during a user-defined retention period. Immutable S3 objects are protected by configuring WORM and retention attributes at the object or bucket level. The retention policy is defined using the S3 API or default values at the bucket level.

The administration of the Object Storage is done via a web portal, where you can make all configurations yourself.
