StorX Network is designed to be fully compatible with the Amazon S3 API, which means it supports the same API constructs. This compatibility ensures that applications built for Amazon S3 can seamlessly migrated to StorX Network
Since S3 API does not demand particular compute, Using StorX Network for storage use cases can significantly reduce the total cost of ownership compared to bare metal services, traditional storage solutions or even other cloud storage services.
StorX Network, S3 compatible storage can be optimized for ultra-high performance workloads by leveraging decentralized cloud and distributed architecture to achieve low-latency and high-throughput data access. This makes it suitable for a wide range of use cases like AI/ML workloads, data lakes.
S3 compatible object storage like StorX Network works on distributed architecture that allows it to scale horizontally across multiple nodes. This scalability ensures that StorX Network can handle exascale data volumes and high traffic loads without compromising performance.
StorX Network is unique in its ability to support its claim of S3 compatibility. With Decentralize Cloud Architecture, Thats coupled with its S3 compatibility, We ensure that it can run the broadest set of use cases in the industry. This includes modern application workloads like GitHub and GitLab for code repositories, modern analytics workloads like database storage for MongoDB, Clickhouse, MariaDB, CockroachDB, and Teradata to traditional archival, backup and disaster recovery use cases.
StorX Network's performance characteristics, combined with its S3 compatibility have made it the standard for AI/ML and data science workloads. Tools like KubeFlow and TensorFlow require high-performance S3 compatible object storage and are increasingly designed for S3 compatible workloads. StorX provides applications with true distributed architecture object storage and efficient replication. Applications written for the S3 API can run anywhere, giving developers the ability to rapidly innovate wherever the best cloud tooling is available.
StorX Network provides S3-compatible storage in a simple, API-driven interface that is fully compatible with Amazon S3 tools and services. This allows businesses to integrate StorX Network without the need for significant changes to their existing workflows, applications, or infrastructure, making the transition both seamless and cost-effective.
StorX Network uses multiple, geographically distributed nodes to store data. This approach inherently improves redundancy and availability. With StorX Network, your data is automatically replicated across various locations, ensuring that you can access it even if one or more nodes experience downtime, enhancing data resilience and uptime.
StorX Network offers enhanced security by encryption with user’s passkey, fragmentation, replication of data across multiple independent nodes, reducing the risk of centralized attacks or single points of failure. Users benefit from end-to-end encryption, ensuring that your data remains secure both at rest and in transit, meeting the highest security standards.
StorX Network is designed to serve users from multiple global locations. StorX Network ensures that your data is readily accessible from anywhere in the world, with reduced latency due to proximity to local nodes. This is crucial for businesses with remote teams or global operations that rely on fast, reliable data access.
It is important to understand your cloud storage options and what they include. Two of the most popular options available include AWS S3 and StorX Network. Both represent reliable and scalable options for your data. But they do have differences worth noting.
| Attributes |
|
|
|---|---|---|
| Proprietary vs Open | Amazon S3 is primarily a proprietary public object storage solution available only on Amazon commercial public cloud (AWS). | StorX Network is an open source S3 compatible cloud storage service. With No risks of vendor lock-in. |
| Compatibility | Amazon S3 is primarily designed for easy integration with other AWS services. It does, however, offers compatibilities with multiple storage devices. | StorX Network offers compatibility to S3 Object storage via an interface that works with the Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) RESTful API. |
| Scalability | Amazon S3 is known for being highly scalable by simply adding additional storage resources when in demand. | StorX Network can scale horizontally to ease the expansion of storage capacity by simply adding more nodes. |
| Encryption | Amazon S3 does not offer encryption by default | At StorX Network all data is first encrypted in users local system with users unique pass phrase before being uploaded to StorX Network. |
| Backup/Uptime | Amazon S3 offers automatic data syncing and some backup options. | StorX Network offers data replication across multiple location by default and high availability and maximum uptime. |
| Geo Redundancy | Amazon S3 does not offer Geo Redundancy by default. | StorX Network offers Geo Redundancy for all data stored for high availability and for maximum uptime. |
We were backing up with tape. We constantly dealt with issues, tape drive maintenance, and dealing with failed backup messages. Backing up with StorX has solved all these issues and restores are done with ease and speed. StorX gives me a piece of mind that my data is protected and is there when I need it.

Marbel Conceptz
I would recommend StorX backup solution for any user that needs seemless backup for SAAS application, They were very easy to work with and answered all of my questions. Backups to the secured vault are seamless and faster than tape.
J. Raymond Pearson
I will continue to recommend StorX to my friends and colleagues. The backups of everything stored were helpful. When I needed it, it was spot on.
Darren Goulston
Your service has also just got better and better, with more features added and an increasingly user-friendly system developing. This has come at absolutely no extra cost. I remain a very satisfied customer.
Bryan Weir
I just wanted to say Thank You. I was recommended to use Storx as they are reliable and offer great value, But the icing on the cake for me is the excellent friendly support that helps and resolves queries. Great service! Keep it up guys.
Michael Sandes
As a software engineer/web designer I am always looking for the best but have never found anyone that can offer me what I want, and after having bad experiences in the past. Finding one that is always reliable, very friendly and has everything I could ask for. I can not do anything but praise. 5 star recommendation for sure.
Alistair Martin
Best affordable and quality provider! I was looking for an affordable but also a quality backup provider. After comparing some service, I decided to try storx. And without any regrets. Everything went well and above all very quickly. Very good website with very clear explanation about settings.
