S3 Compa)ble Cloud Storage
For Cloud Service Providers & Enterprises
Fully Interoperable
w/ S3 Ecosystem
Scalable to Hundreds of PB across Regions
Flexible Ra)ng Plans & Billing
Comprehensive Mul)-‐Tenant
Services
Turnkey Installa)on and 24x7 Support
Cloudian® is a fully S3 API compliant, multi-tenant, multi-datacenter cloud storage platform. Cloud Service Providers can use Cloudian to deploy public clouds and managed private clouds, and enterprises can use Cloudian to deploy private and hybrid clouds. Cloudian storage is secure, easy to install, infinitely scalable, extremely reliable, and backed by a proven, carrier-grade support team.
Cloudian employs a fully distributed and replicated peer-to-peer architecture with no single point of failure. It easily scales horizontally using commodity hardware so deployments can cost effectively start with a few commodity servers in a single datacenter and then scale up as usage increases to thousands of servers distributed across multiple datacenters managing hundreds of petabytes of data.
Cloudian's distributed architecture with automatic replication and recovery services make it highly resilient to network and node failures without data loss. Similarly, when scaling the storage datacenter cluster or performing maintenance, changes in node availability are automatically detected and existing data rebalanced without service interruption.
As a multi-tenant solution, Cloudian provides a robust and flexible management console and API to facilitate user provisioning, administration, quality of service controls, usage reporting and billing automation along with flexible rating plans to enable a wide range of billing and licensing models. Cloudian is unique in the market in a number of ways. Beyond the fact that Cloudian is a comprehensive, turnkey solution based on NOSQL technology, Cloudian is the only cloud storage solution that is natively tracking AWS S3 in terms of API fidelity and feature coverage.
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
✓The most comprehensive AWS S3 feature set available on the market (e.g. S3 ACLs, versioning, mul?-‐part upload, etc).
✓Fully S3 compliant API with 100% matching error codes.
✓Works with exis?ng AWS S3 SDKs (Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, .NET).
✓Use hundreds of exis?ng S3 ecosystem tools and applica?ons as is, while controlling where your data is stored (in public, private, or hybrid clouds).
API Coverage
Fully AWS S3 Compliant API
✓Provides full provisioning and management of users and groups, ra?ng plans, quality of service controls and billing.
✓Enables ?ght integra?on with customer’s provisioning, authen?ca?on and billing systems.
Cloudian Management API
✓Cloudian distributes object replicas across nodes for data durability and high availability. Administrators configure the number of replicas in order to meet SLA and cost objec?ves.
✓Data is automa?cally rebalanced as nodes are added and removed, elimina?ng the need for storage volume management and manual file migra?ons.
✓Automated failover ensures that server failure does not impact the integrity or availability of data.
Reliability, Availability & Disaster Recovery
AutomatedData Replica)on
✓Addi?onally replica?ng data across mul?ple datacenters (availability zones) further increases durability and enables disaster recovery.
✓Reads and writes are always performed at the local datacenter for high performance unless the local datacenter is unavailable.
✓Remote replica?on is performed in the background and incurs no addi?onal latency.
Mul)-‐Datacenter Support
✓Cloudian also supports mul?ple regions to enable unlimited scalability.
✓Groups and users are shared across regions for authen?ca?on, while bucket names are unique across regions.
✓Data can be placed in specific regions for security, policy, cost or other reasons.
Mul)-‐Region Support
✓Supports unlimited size objects scaling to hundreds of petabytes of total storage.
✓Manages billions of objects per region and millions of users across regions.
✓Works with Amazon Web Services (AWS), CloudStack, Eucalyptus and OpenStack.
✓Turnkey installa?on with 24x7 carrier grade support.
Cloud Storage
Mul)-‐Tenant Object Storage PlaSorm
✓The Cloudian architecture offers a "plug and play" approach to scaling from two nodes to thousands of nodes.
✓Automa?c data rebalancing allows addi?onal capacity to be added any ?me so implementa?ons can start small and cost-‐effec?vely add capacity over ?me based on demand.
✓Supports billions of objects per region and millions of users across regions.
✓Cloudian supports deployment of heterogeneous hardware so there is no need to replace older nodes as newer nodes are added over ?me.
Scalability & Performance
Unlimited Scalability
✓The Cloudian architecture allows scaling of both throughput and storage capacity.✓Large objects are supported via mul?-‐part upload/download, breaking them up into smaller chunks.
✓Cloudian’s patent-‐pending HyperStore ensures good performance for any size data object.
Linear Performance
✓Cloudian has configurable QoS rate limits, which ensures groups and users do not exceed storage quota or consume bandwidth in a manner that impacts performance for other tenants.
✓Group-‐ and User-‐level control of total storage (KB), data in/out (e.g. 500,000 KB/min) and requests (e.g. 10,000 requests/min).
Quality of Service Controls for SLA Management
Flexible QoS Controls
✓Match datacenter cluster performance and durability with customer SLAs to op?mize cost.
✓Deliver on higher SLAs by crea?ng more replicas across more datacenters.
Versa)le SLA Management to Op)mize Cost
✓Cloudian is designed to run on a wide range of commodity hardware in order to meet price/performance requirements.
✓Each Cloudian datacenter can leverage a heterogeneous mixture of server types.
✓Cloudian runs on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS opera?ng systems.
Configura?on & System Requirements
Cost Effec)ve Hardware
✓The Cloudian Management Console provides accessibility from any web browser, and the user interface can be easily customized with style sheets.
✓Supports account management, stored data management, and repor?ng capabili?es for system administrators, group administrators, and end users.
✓Administrators can provision and manage groups and users, defining classes of service and billing sefngs.
Management & Security
Web-‐Based Management Console
✓Each account is logically segmented with account data only accessible to users and group administrators. Supports mul?ple security creden?als per user.
✓Each API access is authen?cated with user account creden?als in the request header. SSL encryp?on secures data in transit (HTTPS).
Account Segmenta)on, Authen)ca)on and Security
✓Object permissions include no access, read-‐only, read-‐write and change permissions for users and groups.
✓Buckets permissions include no access, read-‐only, read-‐write, change permissions and full access to all contents.
Access Control Lists (ACLs)
✓Object-‐level ACLs allow for group sharing of data.✓Sharing can be read-‐only for all users except the owner, or can be read-‐write for the en?re group.
Group Sharing
✓Cloudian supports mul?ple billing and subscrip?on revenue models.
✓Class of service sefngs allow for pre-‐defined billing sefngs.
✓Usage reports are available system-‐wide, per group and per user. Billing can flexibly support both cloud service providers and enterprise chargebacks.
✓Billing informa?on is accessible via the Management Console and the Management API.
