Cloudian HyperStore is a fully AWS S3-compatible object storage platform that scales to exabytes. It unifies on-premises and public cloud under a single namespace and provides an economical home for backups, archives, media, and AI/ML datasets.
Cloudian HyperStore is an on-premises object storage platform that is 100% compatible with the AWS S3 API. It scales non-disruptively from petabytes to exabytes and unifies on-premises HyperStore and public cloud S3 under a single namespace with automatic tiering. Object Lock (WORM), multi-tenancy, replication, and encryption are all built in for ransomware protection and compliance.
The explosion of unstructured data from AI, machine learning, big data, video, and backups makes traditional NAS/SAN architectures economically and operationally unsustainable. Public cloud S3 is convenient, but bills grow rapidly with capacity and bring data sovereignty concerns. Cloudian delivers the convenience of S3 with the economics and control of on-prem, and is widely used as the immutable backup target standard for ransomware defense.
As a Cloudian Authorized Partner, Expernet has delivered HyperStore deployments across backup modernization, broadcast/media archives, AI data lakes, and NAS replacement. We provide sizing, design, migration, and ongoing operations tailored to each customer's data strategy.
100% AWS S3 API compatibility — run existing S3 applications on-prem with no code changes.
Linear scale-out by adding nodes; capacity and performance grow together with no downtime.
Automatically tier cold data to AWS S3, Azure Blob, or Google Cloud — combining on-prem economics with cloud flexibility.
AES-256 at rest, TLS in transit, WORM lock, and S3 Object Lock for ransomware defense and regulatory compliance.
Native integration with Veeam, Commvault, Veritas, and other major backup platforms.
Real-time monitoring of usage, performance, and cost; per-tenant chargeback and capacity planning.
Cloudian reference configuration
ChallengeHundreds of TBs of master video files outgrew NAS capacity, costs were spiraling.
SolutionDeployed Cloudian HyperStore as an S3-compatible object store integrated with the existing MAM via S3 API.
OutcomeStorage TCO cut by 60%, scaled to petabytes; files unused for 90+ days auto-tier to cloud.
ChallengeRegulators required 10+ years of retention; legacy tape backup was slow to recover and lacked WORM.
SolutionHyperStore WORM + S3 Object Lock for immutable archives, integrated with Veeam for automated long-term retention.
OutcomeFull compliance achieved, 20× faster recovery vs. tape, 40% lower annual storage operating cost.
From technical evaluation to deployment and operations — we support the entire lifecycle.
