Cloud Object Storage

The solution designed to manage data storage securely and reliably.

Object Storage: What is it?

Cloud Object Storage is a service for storing large amounts of data simply and reliably through the automatic creation of multiple copies of objects distributed across several storage nodes.
Any hardware failures are automatically managed by the system, which immediately restores lost copies on the remaining storage units.
Rai Way’s Object Storage service leverages Cubbit technology combined with the widespread presence of its data centers, enabling geo-distribution of data across 5 different data centers, all located in Italy.
