Object Storage
Scalable, S3-compatible object storage for unstructured data — hosted in GDPR-compliant European data centres for full sovereignty and flexibility.
- S3-compatible API
- Standard & Cold Object Storage Service
- 100% EU data residency
Scalable, S3-compatible storage
CloudFerro Object Storage is an open-source based, API-compatible storage solution built for unstructured data at any scale — from gigabytes to petabytes. Deploy hot workloads or archive cold data, all within trusted EU infrastructure.
S3-Compatible API
Full S3 protocol compatibility means your existing tools, SDKs, and workflows work out of the box. Connect with AWS CLI, boto3, rclone, s3cmd, and any S3-aware application — no migration overhead.
Open-Source Foundation
Powered by proven, open-source distributed storage technology. Transparent, auditable architecture ensures reliability, scalability, and complete freedom from proprietary storage platforms.
Standard & Cold Tiers
Two storage tiers to match every workload: Standard for active, frequently accessed objects; Cold for long-term, low-cost archiving of large or infrequently accessed datasets.
Encryption & Access Control
Server-side encryption available for all stored objects. Granular access control via S3 bucket policies and CloudFerro Managed Identity Service.
Exabyte-Scale Capacity
Object Storage scales elastically from gigabytes to petabytes and beyond — no pre-provisioning required. Ideal for EO datasets, media libraries, telemetry archives, and any workload that demands unrestricted growth.
Scale your data without storage limits
CloudFerro Object Storage delivers scalable, S3-compatible storage for unstructured data and long-term archiving — fully aligned with European data residency and compliance standards.
Data Residency & GDPR Compliance
All object data resides exclusively in certified European data centres in Poland and Germany. CloudFerro Object Storage is designed for organisations that need verifiable data sovereignty and full GDPR compliance — with no data ever leaving the EU.
Open Standards, No Vendor Lock-in
Built on open-source technology with a standard S3-compatible API. Use any existing S3 tooling, SDK, or workflow without rewriting a line of code — and switch providers freely without proprietary lock-in.
Cost-Effective Cold Storage Tier
Reduce long-term archiving costs dramatically with the Cold Object Storage tier. Designed for infrequently accessed data — large EO datasets, compliance archives, backups — at a fraction of the price of standard hot storage.
Typical Use Cases
What can you store and manage with Object Storage?
INTEGRATIONS
Seamless access from anywhere in your stack
Object Storage integrates natively with Virtual Machines, Managed Kubernetes, and the full CloudFerro ecosystem — accessible via S3, OpenStack Swift, the dashboard, or any compatible SDK. One storage layer for your entire sovereign infrastructure.
Virtual Machines
Access Object Storage buckets directly from running VM instances over S3. No mounting required — use AWS CLI, boto3, or any S3-compatible client.
Managed Kubernetes
Mount S3-compatible Object Storage as persistent volumes in Kubernetes pods or access buckets directly from containerised workloads. Full integration with CloudFerro mk8s.
S3-Compatible Tools & SDKs
Works natively with AWS CLI, boto3, rclone, s3cmd, MinIO Client, and any S3-aware application or SDK — no code changes needed when migrating from AWS S3.
OpenStack Swift API
Also accessible via the OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) API for workloads built on the OpenStack ecosystem or legacy applications targeting Swift endpoints.

How to use Spot instances?
SPOTS are cloud computing resources (virtual machines) available at discount prices. They run using unused provider capacity and may be stopped when the demand for standard-priced resources increases.
