Use case examples
Artificial intelligence and machine learning
Develop AI or machine learning applications and process high-power computing workloads using our Object Storage solution. You can use it to store high volumes of data, while enjoying high bandwidth and low storage costs.
Multimedia Catalogue
Host your data catalogue in our Object Storage solution: recommended for applications with static content (images, text files, tables, sounds, or videos).
Backup and disaster recovery
Use Object Storage to consolidate your data protection strategy with cost-effective, efficient, and immutable storage natively integrated with backup management software such as Veeam (certified Veeam Ready) or HYCU.
Why migrate your data to OVHcloud?
Protect yourself from vendor lock-in
Maintain your data sovereignty with our S3 API. This way, you can move your data from any platform offering the S3 API to a provider that respects reversibility.
Control your budget
Get great prices for storage and traffic. You manage your billing through a predictive and transparent pricing model, so you won’t get any nasty surprises at the end of the month.
Adapt your application effortlessly
Update your configuration (the endpoint and credentials) while keeping the same application code and tools.
Test in just a few minutes
Create a bucket
# aws --endpoint-url https://s3..io.cloud.ovh.net s3 mb s3://test1
List your buckets
# aws s3 ls
Push your files as objects in a bucket
# aws s3 cp /etc/magic s3://test1

UbiCast
“UbiCast's video hosting platform generates large amounts of data – several hundred TB – 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.”
Functionality
Encryption
You can encrypt your data with your own key using an SEE-C feature that uses the AES-256 protocol. Sending data to the endpoint is also secure, and the data is encrypted using HTTPS protocol.
Versioning
Versioning helps guard against accidental file deletion or data corruption. It allows you to recover a specific and previous version of lost or corrupted items, even after it’s deleted.
Immutability
Your backup data is immutable. Thanks to WORM (write once read many), it cannot be modified. With the S3 lock feature, you can create different settings according to your needs, activity and data type. For example, you can set a retention period or mode (legal, governance, or compliance).
Resilience
Get local redundancy in a region with Erasure Coding, so that the service is resilient to the loss of a fault domain.
Static website storage
You can create a website that contains only static content (HTML pages, images, videos) that is scripted on the client side. In comparison, a dynamic website relies on server-side processing to process data and help render content.
User Profile Management
Manage your user identities and access to your Object Storage S3 resources through management of standard S3 JSON user profiles, with different read, write or administrator rights.
Access Control List (ACL) management
By default, all resources (buckets and objects) and subresources (lifecycle configuration, website configuration, etc.) are private. You can change access to these resources by user or by bucket-based policy.
Object Storage Billing
Object storage is charged per GB, per hour. The displayed price indicates the cost of a full month of storage. Outgoing traffic from objects is also charged per GB.

The advantages of object storage
Object storage offers a number of advantages, the main one being reduced costs as your data grows. Your data is stored on one or more servers sized to accommodate terabytes or even petabytes of information, while optimising operational costs. The environment is also designed to adapt to changing needs, without needing to overhaul the infrastructure or the way it runs.
FAQ
What Service Level Agreement (SLA) does OVHcloud guarantee for access to the Object Storage service?
The SLA guarantees 99.9% monthly availability for accessing the Object Storage service. For further information, please refer to the General Terms and Conditions 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. To integrate this management directly into your application, you can use CLI, SDK or S3 APIs. You can also directly use a client that is available on the market, or Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.
What is the limit for the volume of data that can be stored on Object Storage?
There is no limit. In other words, OVHcloud manages the service so that there is always space available.
Which Object Storage solution should I choose?
For performance-intensive needs, the High Performance Object Storage solution is ideal. For uses where performance is not a primary criterion, the Standard Object Storage – S3 API is more suitable.
What is Object Storage?
It is a technology that offers an online storage service. It is accessible via API, and provides users with an unlimited amount of space to store data. The Object Storage cluster is managed by the cloud provider. You can push all types of data into an Object Storage service.
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 enlarged at any time.
What’s the difference between file systems and Object Storage?
There are many differences. The most important one is the fact that Object Storage is used for static data only, and 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. The Block Storage service provides storage spaces that are sized as required and attached to an instance. These spaces are managed by the instance’s operating system. Object Storage provides unlimited space, which is managed directly by your application.
