Features
IBM Cloud Object Storage highlights
Smart Tier
Smart Tier automates tier classification and cost optimization based on data activity. It’s ideal for unknown or changing data usage patterns.
High durability and resiliency
Built for 99.99999999% data durability. Select the resiliency option for the location, availability and performance you need. Individual results vary.
Security and data protection
Enhance data security with role-based policies and access permissions, and leverage encryption key options for granular control and authority.
Fast data transfer
Securely move data to IBM Cloud Object Storage with the natively integrated Aspera high-speed data transfer option. Upload data at no cost.
Query data in place
Analyze data fast in IBM Cloud Object Storage with IBM SQL Query. Tap into your data simply to extract, transform and load (ETL) data.
Immutable object storage
Preserve electronic records and protect data against deletion or modification.
Quota management
Manage storage cost by limiting bucket usage. Once the limit is reached, you can’t add data unless you extend the limit. Set a threshold-based alert.
Object versioning
Enable versioning to keep multiple versions of an object in a bucket to protect against accidental deletion or overwrites. Easily recover from any unintentional data loss.
Accelerated archive
With a faster restore option of up to two hours, you can access your dormant data faster, while saving on storage costs for your long-term data.
