connecting Friendly GmbH to scalable Cloud Storage
With Netstream’s Object Storage, Friendly GmbH benefits from a scalable, S3-compatible storage solution from the Swiss cloud.
Challenge
To back up the large volumes of data it generates, Friendly GmbH used FTP storage. However, the solution reached its limits, particularly with “static” storage plans. It therefore quickly became clear that a dynamic storage solution should be evaluated that better meets the company’s needs and offers the necessary flexibility.
We have been using Netstream since 2020 for scalable backups of our customer data in Switzerland.
Approach
After researching the various possible solutions and providers on the market online, Friendly GmbH finally came across Netstream. The preferred provider had to be based in Switzerland and host customer data in Switzerland. Netstream meets both requirements. Netstream’s many years of experience and especially its company culture finally convinced Friendly GmbH, and it requested more information about the solutions. After a test, the company decided on Netstream’s S3-compatible Object Storage.
Solution
Friendly GmbH uses Netstream Object Storage to back up its large volumes of data to the cloud. For data transfer, the company uses the open-source software s3cmd. The software uses the Amazon S3 standard to transfer data. Thanks to S3 compatibility, the solution is highly flexible and easy to scale.
Advantages
- Headquarters in Switzerland
- Company-owned Swiss data centers
- 100% S3 compatibility
- High scalability – in both directions
- Fair pricing model
