Scality RING is a software-defined object storage solution designed to handle massive, unpredictable workloads and cloud infrastructures. It provides limitless scalability in multiple dimensions, including capacity, performance, and buckets, across servers, sites, and clouds. RING aims to keep organizations silo-free, future-ready, and in control of their data. It offers cloud-style economics with low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and no vendor lock-in, managed by a single administrator for petabytes of data on industry-standard servers. The software supports seamless growth across hardware generations, leading to improvements in density, power consumption, cooling, and performance. Security is a core tenet of Scality RING, featuring true immutability and five levels of end-to-end cyber resilience to protect against ransomware and emerging threats. It includes AWS-compatible IAM and MFA for secure multi-tenancy, S3 Object Lock for immutability, and 256-bit data encryption at rest with secure HTTPS connections. Configurable retention policies and compliance mode ensure data integrity and immunity to threats. Reliability is achieved through continuous availability and 14 nines of data durability, facilitated by erasure coding, replication, and self-healing mechanisms. Its scale-out, single-system approach eliminates silos and ensures 100% availability during failures, upgrades, and expansions. Multi-geo options distribute data across availability zones for uninterrupted access even in the event of a data center outage, guaranteeing zero data loss, service disruptions, or downtime. Scality RING also offers a hybrid-cloud S3 namespace for centralized visibility and control, fitting into existing ecosystems with complete S3 API support and enabling data mobilization across on-premise and cloud environments from a single system. The solution includes built-in protection and disaster recovery with up to 14 nines durability and zero RPO/RTO. The RING XP variant provides all-flash performance, outperforming Amazon S3 Express One Zone by 20x, and offers AI-optimized performance mode and fast S3 mode. Scality has partnerships with over 150 application providers to ensure integrated solutions.
