Cloudian HyperStore

Cloudian HyperStore is enterprise-grade, software-defined object storage designed for organisations managing massive volumes of unstructured data, including AI datasets, backups, archives and analytics workloads. Its primary purpose is to provide scalable, secure and resilient storage across on-premises infrastructure, distributed data centres and hybrid-cloud environments. Key features include exabyte-scale expansion, S3-compatible APIs, unified file and object storage, multi-tenancy, encryption, role-based access controls, multifactor authentication, Object Lock ransomware protection, erasure coding, replication and automated lifecycle policies. Its peer-to-peer architecture distributes storage and processing across nodes, allowing capacity and throughput to increase as infrastructure expands. NVIDIA GPUDirect support, data-locality optimisation and all-flash configurations help accommodate demanding AI training and inference workloads. The platform also supports synchronous replication for active-active access, asynchronous replication for disaster recovery and cloud tiering for older data. Its centralised management interface provides a unified view of distributed storage, while tenant-level controls support resource allocation, performance limits and usage-based billing. HyperStore is software-defined and can run on industry-standard servers or Cloudian appliances, giving enterprises hardware flexibility and the potential to reduce infrastructure costs.
