S3 Use Cases

A data lake as the foundation for analytics

The Internet of Things (IoT) is dramatically increasing the amount of data available to businesses. In smart manufacturing, for example, the IoT connects machines, sensors, and products. In addition to process and product data, a large amount of unstructured data is generated about the status of a machine or system. S3 Object Storage is an excellent way to store this and other IoT data. Organizations can use it to build a data lake. The high scalability of S3 pays off here, as terabytes to petabytes of data can quickly be reached.

S3 Storage Anwendungsfall Backup

Data backup and recovery

The golden rule for backups (3-2-1 rule) is that there should be three copies of all data (one of which is the original). The copies should be on two different media. One of them must be stored off-site. S3 storage provides a cost-effective, secure, and highly scalable solution for offsite data protection. Data can be quickly restored from the object storage and with plusserver there are no traffic costs. In addition, disaster recovery strategies can be implemented with the cloud provider.

Next-gen applications need the right storage

Whether preparing legacy applications for the cloud or writing a cloud-native application, Object Storage gives developers the right data storage in the cloud with minimal effort. Regardless of the infrastructure used for development and deployment, the storage can be accessed from anywhere. S3 storage is especially well suited for mobile applications, such as collecting and processing user data generated by an application.

S3 Storage Anwendungsfall Archivierung

The safe for your valuable data

Data that is rarely or never used (cold data) still needs to be archived. Storage hardware in your own data center is expensive to purchase and operate. When capacity is exhausted, large investments (fixed costs) must be made in new systems. By moving cold storage to the cloud, you can save money in the long run. Security or compliance concerns can be quickly addressed with the plusserver offering.
Use Case S3 Media files

Store content and access it from anywhere

Object storage such as plusserver S3 Storage is a great choice for storing and delivering media files such as images, video, and audio. Its scalability and performance make S3 the ideal candidate for handling large volumes of these content files. Support for multiple data formats and access methods enables seamless integration with content delivery networks and other media delivery solutions. Objects are stored in a flat address space and can be accessed directly via APIs or http/https.

FAQ

Object Lock prevents objects from being deleted or overwritten for a specified or indefinite period of time. Objects are stored in the write once, read many (WORM) model. This prevents employees from accidentally damaging data and cybercrime such as ransomware. Storing data in the WORM model may also be part of regulatory requirements.

Optional geo-redundancy lets you back up a copy of your data from S3 object storage to a geographically remote pluserver datacenter. This is recommended for business-critical data. If the first data center fails, your data is still available at the second location.

No, you will only be charged for the amount of storage you actually use for the duration of your usage (pay-as-you-go).

With plusserver, you get the traffic for free, which makes our offer particularly attractive for large data volumes such as in the IoT environment. Zudem liegen unsere zertifizierten Rechenzentren in Deutschland und Ihre Daten verlassen zu keiner Zeit den Rechtsraum.

The object storage behind our product is virtually infinitely scalable, providing unlimited storage. In numbers, this means up to 50 million objects per bucket, up to 5 TB of object size, and up to several petabytes of total data.

Yes, the S3 service supports object encryption. This means that as an S3 storage user, you can encrypt all objects in your S3 application when you create them.
An S3 client is a piece of software for a specific operating system (e.g. MacOS, Linux, Windows) that is designed to facilitate the day-to-day use of S3 buckets. There are many S3 clients on the market, which differ in their feature set and also in their performance when creating or deleting.
