Peak 10 Object Storage
We live in a zettabyte-scale digital world, increasingly fueled by the Internet of Things and populated by ever-growing quantities of unstructured and non-transactional data such as emails, images and videos. The challenge is to store and deliver these vast amounts of data at a pace and scale that can meet user demands for instant access but is cost effective, encrypted and agile.
Peak 10® Object Storage
Peak 10 Object Storage is a scalable, self-healing and secure object-based
storage solution for cost-effectively storing large quantities of data — including
unstructured data. It offers instant, self-service access to storage capacity that
scales up as you need it. You can store and manage unprecedented amounts
of data and even build cloud applications that are scalable without having to
predict how much storage you need.
Object Storage: Online and On Demand
Data, much of it unstructured, is growing at an exponential rate. Peak 10’s Object Storage provides a scalable and cost-effective option.
API accessible via the Internet
Geographically diverse storage
Encrypted at rest and in transit
SLA-backed 99.999% availability —one of highest in the industry
Pay-as-you-go pricing
Object Storage Drives Agility, Efficiency and Lower Risk for Your Business
Object Storage is accessible via the Internet, enabling you to connect to it from
anywhere, anytime and on any device. It can be used in combination with traditional
clouds or on-premise infrastructure to elastically expand your storage capacity,
creating a hybrid storage environment.
“It offers instant, self-service access to storage capacity that scales up as you need it.”

Peak 10 Object Storage
Scalable
With Object Storage, you scale how, when and where needed with practically infinite
capacity. This makes it ideal for archiving and backing up massive quantities of data
and storing large public or private data sets like online files and media.
Resilient
Peak 10 uses erasure coding to provide the redundancy needed to protect your data
against failures, such as disk array failure, in a cost-efficient way. Data is parsed into
smaller fragments that are encoded with redundant data pieces and stored across
multiple Peak 10 enterprise-class data centers, giving Object Storage its self-healing
capability. Distributing copies of data across storage nodes provides a measure of
data protection; distributing them geographically enhances business continuity and
scale for cloud-enabled applications. Object Storage makes data available via an
HTTPS interface. It can be accessed from any device. Object Storage is backed by Peak
10’s industry-leading SLA, offering 99.999% availability.
“With Object Storage, you scale how, when and where needed...”Secure and Encrypted
Data stored in Peak 10 Object Storage is encrypted at rest and in transit, ensuring
your data is secure at all times. Peak 10’s data centers also incorporate a number
of security protocols and processes to help ensure the security of the services they
power — including Object Storage.
Agile and Hybrid IT Enabling
Accessed through a REST API via the Internet, Peak 10 Object Storage does not
require hardware modifications to your servers, and it is compatible with Amazon
S3 API. The storage solution’s Internet accessibility also means that if you have an
on-premise IT environment, you can point it to Peak 10 Object Storage to enable a
hybrid IT environment.
24/7/365 Support
Round-the-clock support from Peak 10’s technology staff is a standard feature
of Object Storage. You also have free access to Peak 10’s solution engineers who
are available to provide consultative whiteboard sessions, and help you devise
and implement any number of IT infrastructure solutions to meet your business
requirements.
Object Storage Uses
The following are just a few of the common use cases for Object Storage:
• Backup and archiving, including tape replacement
• File storage, distribution and sharing in a wide range of industries
• Large amounts of data storage with unpredictable growth
• Hybrid storage
• Seamless DevOps access to geographically distributed back-end storage
• Cloud-enabled applications
Peak 10 solution engineers can work with you to determine how Object Storage can
best meet your storage needs.

Object Container
Cloud-enabledApplication
NAS Bridge(NFS API Translation)Legacy Application
Unlike traditional storage systems, Object Storage uses variable-sized data
containers, known as objects, instead of files.
Objects are stored in containers in a flat address space called a storage pool. A
unique object ID — a digital fingerprint — is created for each object, simplifying
access to your data compared to the retrieval processes associated with
traditional file systems. Not bound by a hierarchical structure, Object Storage
can grow the number of object IDs contained almost limitlessly, improving your
business’s performance and enabling you to scale quickly.
Objects also contain metadata supplied by users or the application. The
attributes can be used to store information on key characteristics, making it
easy to query the objects. With this higher level information, Object Storage
can provide additional functionality, such as lifecycle management and efficient
data retrieval, as well as improved reliability.
For resiliency, objects created on one node are erasure coded or replicated
across multiple geographically dispersed data centers. If one node fails, the
data can still be made available.
