Testimonials
RG System
“OVHcloud Object Storage has provided us with the perfect solution for migrating several petabytes of Microsoft 365 backups in just a few months. Achieving project performance and speed brings us peace of mind, while also assuring our customers that their collaborative data is securely stored in France.”
Mathieu Halluin, Production & Customer Service Manager, RG System
UbiCast
“UbiCast’s video hosting platform generates large amounts of data—several hundred terabytes—which is accessed completely randomly for a majority of the content. OVHcloud’s Object Storage service allows us to manage this volume and the associated scalability, while ensuring data protection and sovereignty.”

Your questions answered
What Service Level Agreement (SLA) does OVHcloud guarantee for access to Object Storage?
99.9% SLA for a 1-AZ deployment and 99.99% for a 3-AZ deployment. For further information, please refer to the General Terms of Service.
How do I access and/or manipulate data in Object Storage?
There are several ways of manipulating the data stored on Object Storage. You can use CLI, SDK or Amazon S3* compatible APIs to integrate this management directly into your application. You also have the option of directly using a customer available on the market, or Infrastructure-as-Code tools like Terraform.
What is the limit for the volume of data that can be stored on Object Storage?
Virtually, there is no limit. In other words, OVHcloud manages the service so that there is always space available.
How do I choose between the two object storage solutions?
High Performance Object Storage is the ideal solution for performance-intensive needs. For use cases that do not require high performance, Standard Object Storage is the right solution.
What is Object Storage?
It’s a technology that offers an online storage service. With API access, users gain unlimited data storage, while the cloud provider manages the Object Storage cluster. You can push all types of data into object storage.
How does Object Storage work?
An object storage service works in a cluster with a large number of storage servers sharing algorithms to ensure data resilience. The service places and indexes data depending on which spaces are available. A cluster can be expanded at any time.
What’s the difference between file systems and Object Storage?
There are many differences. The two most important differences are the fact that Object Storage is used for static data only, and that the solution offers unlimited storage space.
What’s the difference between Object Storage and Block Storage?
The differences between Object Storage and Block Storage are mainly the access modes and volume limitations. Block Storage provides storage spaces that are sized as required and linked to an instance. These spaces are managed by the instance’s operating system. Object Storage provides unlimited space that is managed directly by your application.
