Cloud Storage · Dedicated Ceph clusters
Storage
you control.
ZSoftly Cloud Storage is a dedicated, single-tenant Ceph cluster with root-level access, sized to your workload. Exabyte-scale object, block, and file storage on one fully distributed platform, with no single point of failure and no noisy neighbours. It is not a compute cloud. It is the storage tier you build on.
One cluster
Object, block, and file together
A single Ceph cluster speaks all three storage interfaces at once, so one platform serves every storage shape your applications need.
Object storage (S3)
An S3-compatible endpoint via Ceph RGW. Works with the S3 tools and SDKs you already use. Change only the endpoint URL.
Block storage (RBD)
Thin-provisioned network block devices for virtual machines, databases, and Kubernetes persistent volumes via the Ceph CSI driver.
File storage (CephFS)
A POSIX shared filesystem many clients mount concurrently. Ideal for shared datasets, build caches, and HPC scratch.
Two delivery models
Hosted by us, or on your hardware
Hosted (public)
We provision and operate your dedicated cluster on ZSoftly hardware in our regions (YUL, YOW). You get root access and a private endpoint without owning or racking hardware.
On-premises (private)
We design and deploy a dedicated cluster on hardware you own or operate, in your facility, for data residency, sovereignty, or existing data-center investments.
In both models the cluster is single-tenant and yours to administer. Same Ceph, same root access, same interfaces. Only the location and ownership of the hardware differ.
Capabilities
Built for scale and control
Exabyte scale, no single point of failure
A fully distributed architecture. Scale horizontally by adding nodes. Data is replicated or erasure-coded across the cluster.
Root-level control
Single-tenant and yours to administer. Tune pools, device classes, and data protection to your exact workload.
NVMe performance tiering
Use NVMe as a fast pool or as a cache layer in front of high-capacity drives for exceptional performance per GB stored.
Replication & disaster recovery
Replicate to another ZSoftly region, an on-prem cluster, or any Ceph cluster you administer. Uses RGW multisite and RBD mirroring.
Your cluster is provisioned on a recent stable Ceph release, or a specific version selected with our team to match an existing cluster or tool requirement.
Use cases
Where ZCS fits
Big data & analytics
Distributed, parallel access to large datasets with built-in redundancy for reliable analytics pipelines.
HPC, ML & AI
High-throughput shared storage for scientific simulations and training or inference datasets.
S3 at scale
An open, cost-effective alternative to hyperscaler object storage, compatible with existing S3 tooling.
Backup & disaster recovery
A replication target for an existing Ceph cluster, for data recovery and business continuity.
Standalone, or integrated
Buy a cluster on its own, or run it alongside ZSoftly Public Cloud and Private Cloud. Need managed, pay-as-you-go object and block storage instead? It is included in our Public Cloud.
