In contrast to self-built storage servers, ZOS cloud storage offers numerous advantages including superior storage capacity, cost-effectiveness, reliability, security, ease-of-use, flexibility, and compatibility. These advantages position ZOS as the ideal solution for extensive data storage requirements, making it widely used in cloud computing and big data fields.
Scalable and expansive storage capacity
ZOS boasts an expansive storage capacity, with symmetrical architecture enabling theoretically infinite expansion. What's more, this expansion can be executed without disrupting services, alleviating concerns regarding storage space limitations and capacity adjustments.
Stable, reliable, and persistent data storage
Hardware layer: Physical devices are housed in data centers that withstand up to 8th magnitude earthquakes and equipped with top-level fire and waterproofing measures. In addition, the data centers hold ISO27001 certification for information security. Core components such as CPU, memory, and fan modules are redundantly deployed and subject to real-time monitoring, ensuring prompt detection of any anomalies.
Data layer: Availability zones of storage clusters are fortified with erasure code-based data redundancy and hardware redundancy to safeguard data. Cross-data center data replication and multi-AZ availability are supported, ensuring multiple layers of protection. ZOS ensures an impressive 99.995% service availability and an unparalleled data persistence rate of 99.9999999999%.
Secure and multi-layer data protection
Permission control: ZOS offers diverse methods for controlling access permissions, including ACL permission control, bucket policy authorization, STS temporary authorization, and hotlink protection, providing flexible control over data access.
Data encryption: ZOS supports server-end encryption, data consistency verification, and HTTPS transmission protocol, safeguarding data during both storage and transmission processes.
Compliance protection: ZOS facilitates the configuration of compliance protection cycles, restricting data modification or deletion while permitting read-only access, enhancing data security.
Version control: ZOS enables the creation of multiple data versions, facilitating easy restoration in the event of inadvertent deletions or misoperations.
User-friendly interactions and easy access for businesses
Diverse access entry: You can interact with ZOS through the browser console, REST APIs, or client tools compatible with the S3 protocol. ZOS also provides SDKs in multiple languages such as Java, C#, C++, Python, Go, and JavaScript to facilitate secondary development by enterprises or individuals.
Flexible billing modes: ZOS offers both pay-as-you-go and resource package billing methods to suit diverse needs. By default, pay-as-you-go is used, which incurs no charges when the service is unused. You can also opt for cost-effective resource packages.
On-demand layered storage: Standard storage, Infrequent Access (IA) storage, and Archive storage are billed separately, allowing you to select the most suitable storage for your requirements.
Comprehensive features for diverse scenarios
Image processing: Online image processing capabilities, such as cropping, watermarking, format conversion, are supported to facilitate secondary data processing.
Lifecycle management: This feature allows you to set policies that automate data deletion and migration, saving manual overheads.
