Cloud object storage is based on an industry standard object storage architecture that is S3 compatible. Data is managed as objects, which is different to block and file storage architectures. It provides practically infinite scalability for storing data that is static in nature, such as: multimedia, Web content, big data, archive files and long-term retention of backups. It provides access to storage anywhere, any time and from any device over HTTPS, allowing for remote access to the data. Combined with backup applications, object Immutability can be achieved to ensure backups are not altered or deleted.

The firm’s cloud block storage and cloud file storage can be attached to servers hosted in the same co-location facility as the company, as well as Silicon Sky Compute services such as its virtual data centre, cloud server, dedicated server and hosted HCI services. Cloud object storage is accessible from any device or applications over HTTPS with S3 RESTful APIs and Swift APIs.
