Object Storage for content delivery
Object Storage for content delivery
High Performance Object Storage is perfect for storing a catalogue of static content (images, videos, audio or text files) and distributing it to your users with low latency and maximum throughput.
Using Object Storage for your media platform
Why use your infrastructure’s resources to serve static content, when Object Storage can do it in a more efficient and cost-effective way?
With OVHcloud Object Storage, your data is stored as objects with unique IDs and metadata, in an unlimited space. Your data has guaranteed availability (99.9% SLA), while OVHcloud manages any peak loads. You only pay for what you use: the volume stored and the outgoing traffic.
Music and video streaming platforms are already using these features to store, secure and deliver terabytes or even petabytes of content. But other industries, such as e-commerce sites, SaaS application publishers, or AI projects that require massive volumes of data, can also benefit.
High Performance Object Storage is based on NVMe SSDs, guaranteeing maximum throughput and low latency in read and write mode to meet even the most demanding needs. This exceptional performance makes it perfect for applications like high-definition video streaming.
Content Delivery: the advantages of High Performance Object Storage
Scalability and resilience
High-performance Object Storage can be scaled to suit your needs, without compromising performance. With a continuously adapting storage capacity, it can manage up to 5 GB per object (and up to 48 TB with multi-part upload) and up to 1,000 buckets per project on demand.
Your data also benefits from exceptional resilience thanks to the erasure coding mechanism, which guarantees that it is protected even in the event of a hardware failure*.
*In the case of the 3-AZ option (available only with Standard Object Storage), your data is resilient to the loss of one of the 3 sites. In the case of 1-AZ, your data is resilient to the failure of several disks.
S3 API* compatibility
Manage your data easily and integrate it into your applications with the S3 API. Automate access and configure specific rules, such as read-only access for your visitors. You can interact with your data via the API, the OVHcloud Control Panel or command lines, for flexible management that’s adapted to your needs.
Competitive pricing with no surprises
Get the best performance with predictable prices. Based on NVMe SSD disks, the High Performance solution guarantees low latency and maximum throughput at a price of A$0.03 ex. GST/month/GB . Internal traffic within OVHcloud infrastructures (incoming and outgoing) and API calls are free of charge. Only outgoing public traffic is charged at A$0.0145 ex. GST/GB, which is 7 to 9 times cheaper than tariffs offered by the leading hyperscalers.
3 reasons to adopt High Performance Object Storage
Outsourcing the storage and distribution of static content in High Performance Object Storage offers many advantages. Here are three good reasons to start adopting it:
Optimise your bandwidth costs
With High Performance Object Storage, you can choose the region where you want to deploy your service to bring your data closer to your users and offer them optimal access times. With competitive pricing, you can reduce costs while maintaining the best streaming performance. This approach may even reduce, if not eliminate, the need to use a CDN, offering a simpler, more cost-effective solution.
Switch to a cloud-native approach
Outsourcing your content with High Performance Object Storage simplifies and improves the performance of your architecture. By offloading your infrastructure from requests related to static content, you gain efficiency and resilience. OVHcloud guarantees high availability for your data, so you can focus on developing your core applications.
Guaranteed data sovereignty and proximity
With OVHcloud, you retain full control over where your data is located. You choose the region of deployment depending on your needs, guaranteeing full sovereignty and regulatory compliance that is adapted to each territory.

Object Storage performance supported by the OVHcloud network
Hardware plays a key role in the performance of OVHcloud Object Storage. With NVMe SSDs, read and write times are more than 10 times faster than with standard HDDs. However, this gain could be wiped out if the bandwidth to move the data were to become saturated—a common risk for public cloud services that share their infrastructure between thousands of users.
To avoid this problem, OVHcloud has historically chosen to invest heavily in its own backbone network. With a total capacity of 100 Tbps, this network is based on 43 datacentres across 4 continents and 44 redundant points of presence (PoPs). As a result, your users get the best access times to your data, wherever they are. Ultimately, their only limit depends on the performance of their internet provider.
