Object Storage
Object storage
A data repository that you can use as:
- A file repository shared by many people or servers
- A large archive of data
- A distributed data repository
- A place for static files that offload your main file system
How does it work?
Quick start
The Atman campus hosts a large number of rack servers with disk arrays that create an object storage system. This platform provides you with space over the internet to connect via S3 or Swift protocol.
- STEP 1 / You receive two parameters from Atman that are used for authentication: SECRET KEY and ACCESS KEY.
- STEP 2 / You choose your favorite tool that supports the S3 protocol and configure it
- STEP 3 / You fill the space with your data
What do you need?
- from Atman / Reconcile disk space size
- from Atman / Get credentials and user manual
- from You / Decide for yourself which tool you will use – there are many free or commercial products and open source programs on the market.
- from you / Prepare the tools and start using the space
