    StoneFly S3 Object Storage Solutions: Overview

    StoneFly Local S3 Object Storage Appliances

    StoneFly offers three S3 object storage options:

    • Cloud: Serverless S3 object storage in AWS cloud or any other S3 compatible cloud.
    • Virtual: Deploy SCVM as a VM on VMware, Hyper-V, KVM and Citrix (formerly XenServer) hypervisors and provision S3 object storage volumes using the available storage stack.
    • Physical: Purpose-built local S3 object storage appliances.

    Our S3 object storage solutions (cloud, virtual or physical) can be configured as storage targets for backup software such as Rubrik, Commvault, Veritas, Veeam, and more.

    StoneFly S3 solutions can be seamlessly integrated with S3 compatible applications, servers, and software.

    S3 Object Storage in the Cloud

    StoneFly Local S3 Object Storage Appliances

    Integrate cloud S3 object storage repositories with your on-premises infrastructure using StoneFly cloud storage gateway.

    Our cloud storage gateway can let you configure S3 storage in AWS or any other S3 compatible cloud. These cloud-based S3 repositories can be set up as target storage locations for your:

    •  Backup software like Rubrik, Veeam, Commvault, Acronis, etc.
    • On-Premises Infrastructure: NAS, SAN, unified systems, and Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)
    • Virtual Machines (VMs) running on VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, Citrix (XenServer)
    • Relational Databases such as MySQL, Hadoop, Docker, PostGreSQL, etc.
    • And More!

    StoneFly cloud storage gateways are available as virtual gateway and hardware gateway appliances.

    The virtual gateway appliance can be deployed as a VM on VMware, Hyper-V, KVM and Citrix (formerly XenServer) hypervisors.
