BlackPearl S3: Scalable on-premises storage that extends to the cloud
On-Prem Hybrid Cloud Storage
BlackPearl S3 is on-prem hybrid cloud storage that offers native support for S3 and Amazon S3 Glacier* APIs. BlackPearl S3, powered by Vail, extends your on-premises storage to a glacier tier configured with tape to give exponential scalability.
Benefits of BlackPearl S3
On-Prem Hybrid Cloud Storage
- Configurable as S3 Standard, Infrequent Access, and Glacier storage tiers
- Optimized for storing large, unstructured datasets at a fraction of the cost of public cloud storage
- Delivers flexibility of the cloud with on-prem performance
Security and Ransomware Resiliency
- Object Lock (WORM) ensures data cannot be deleted or modified
- Versioning keeps multiple versions of an object, providing recoverability of a previous version
- Encryption at rest and in flight eliminates unintended data exposure
