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.

Storage interfaces

## [Object, block, and file together](https://zcp.zsoftly.ca/services/cloud-storage/#storage-interfaces)

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.

Deployment options

## [Hosted by us, or on your hardware](https://zcp.zsoftly.ca/services/cloud-storage/#deployment-options)

### 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.

Cluster capabilities

## [Built for scale and control](https://zcp.zsoftly.ca/services/cloud-storage/#cluster-capabilities)

### 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.

Workloads

## [Where Cloud Storage fits](https://zcp.zsoftly.ca/services/cloud-storage/#workloads)

### 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.

## [Integrate with your cloud](https://zcp.zsoftly.ca/services/cloud-storage/#integration)

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.
