What do I pay for?

You pay only for the data you actually store. We do not charge any extra fees for unused storage space, data transfer, or bandwidth.

Can I use Glesys Object Storage to host static websites?

At the moment, there is no way to serve static websites from Glesys Object Storage, but we intend to support this feature in the future.

What protocol does Glesys Object Storage use?

GleSYS Object Storage communicates over HTTPS using a REST‑based API (the S3 API).

Is my data stored redundantly?

The data is stored locally with redundancy on disks in a file‑storage cluster at our data centers.

Does Glesys Object Storage support geo-redundant storage?

We currently only support local redundancy. However, additional data centers and support for geo‑redundancy will be added in the future.

Is the data stored encrypted in my bucket?

By default, the data in your bucket is not encrypted when accessed via the S3 protocol. However, the data is always encrypted at rest on our servers. Even if a server or disk were to be stolen or lost, the data could not be read. You can encrypt the files yourself locally using PGP/GPG, or you can use a client that supports Server‑Side Encryption with Customer‑provided keys (SSE‑C) with the Ceph Object Gateway.

Is there a backup of the files in the service?

No backups are taken of the files. Instead, the data is stored redundantly in a storage cluster.
