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.

✓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.
