Cloud Storage

Cloud Object Storage is a way to store large amounts of unstructured data – like images, videos, and backups - in a highly scalable and cost-effective manner. Instead of storing files in folders, data is stored as objects in a flat pool alongside its associated metadata and a unique identifier. This allows for efficient retrieval and management of data, regardless of its size or type.

Traditional storage solutions, like file servers, can be limited in scalability and can become expensive to maintain as your data grows. Cloud Storage offers a more flexible and cost-effective approach, allowing you to scale your storage capacity on demand and pay only for what you use. Plus, with built-in redundancy and disaster recovery, your data is more resilient than with traditional on-premises solutions.

Cloud Object Storage is ideal for storing unstructured data, such as:

• Media files - Images, videos, audio files.
• Backups and archives - System backups, database backups, file archives.
• Log files - Application logs, system logs, security logs.
• Sensor data - Data generated by IoT devices and sensors.
• Big data - Large datasets used for analytics and machine learning.

Yes, Exponential-e's Cloud Object Storage is designed with security as a top priority. We employ robust security measures, including:

• Encryption - Data is encrypted both at rest and in transit.
• Access Controls - Granular access controls allow you to define user permissions and restrict access to sensitive data.
• Compliance Certifications - Exponential-e adheres to industry standards and compliance certifications, demonstrating our commitment to data security.

Exponential-e's Storage Gateway (SG) provides a local cache of frequently accessed data, while storing all data centrally in our secure Cloud Object Storage. This approach allows for:

• LAN-speed access to critical data, even for remote users with unreliable internet connections.
• Reduced storage costs by optimising data placement and auto-archiving infrequently accessed data.
• Simplified collaboration with centralised management and multi-site file sharing capabilities.

Exponential-e performs ongoing capacity planning by trending data capacity patterns within the storage repository. This proactive approach ensures that the service can accommodate future growth and maintain high performance.
