Overview

Cloudian Storage for Kubernetes delivers cloud‑native S3‑compatible object storage directly within on‑prem Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift environments. It enables agile, persistent storage provisioning via standard Kubernetes Persistent Volume (PV) and Persistent Volume Claim (PVC), while offering enterprise-grade scalability, security, geo‑distribution, and hybrid‑cloud capabilities. Organizations benefit from cloud‑style developer experience and self‑service without the cost or complexity of public cloud storage.

Features and Capabilities

• Native S3 API support for application portability — write once, deploy anywhere supporting standard PV/PVC provisioning
• Dynamic and static storage provisioning using Kubernetes APIs
• Multi‑tenancy isolation and QoS controls — separate namespaces, performance isolation per tenant
• Hybrid-cloud integration — replicate or migrate data to AWS, GCP, Azure in native formats with no lock‑in
• Geo‑distributed clusters — stripe or replicate data across sites to reduce latency and improve availability
• Enterprise-grade durability & scalability — peer‑to‑peer clustered architecture, exabyte scale, supports over 1 million users
• Production readiness — hardened object and file storage trusted by enterprises, government, and service providers
• Cost savings — up to 70% lower total cost than public cloud alternatives
