ECS is a massively scalable, software-defined object storage platform that enables any organization to store, access, and manipulate unstructured data as objects. ECS supports industry-standard APIs such as Amazon S3. In addition, ECS extends the Amazon S3 API with support for retention, byte range updates, and atomic appends.
Simple multitenancy
ECS delivers a flat software architecture ideal for multitenant environments. Configuring and provisioning a multitenant platform, creating a namespace, and managing the platform has never been easier. ECS provides key metrics and reporting for capacity, object count, objects created, objects deleted, and inbound and outbound bandwidth. These activities are all visible through the ECS UI and through the ECS Management REST API.
ECS features a truly geo-efficient architecture that stores, distributes, and protects data both locally and geographically. This architecture eliminates any single point of failure and provides seamless failover from site to site with no impact to the business. ECS automatically maximizes throughout, maintains high availability and data durability, and increases capacity and the reliability of applications. Geographic limitations do not exist, so users have a single global namespace with anywhere-access to content.
Today’s modern applications demand a different architecture. Managing both cost and accessibility as storage environments grow and become more complex is one of the biggest challenges facing organizations today. Developers are finding it easier to go to public cloud alternatives, putting data at risk and increasing management costs. ECS provides a cloud-scale storage architecture that is designed to support modern applications with unparalleled availability, protection, simplicity, and scale.
