Xloud Object Storage — Scale-Out Storage
Product details and datasheet on xloud.tech
Xloud Object Storage
User Guide
Create containers, upload objects, manage ACLs, enable versioning, and work with large objects using the Xloud Dashboard or CLI.
Admin Guide
Configure storage policies, manage rings, control replication, enforce quotas, and maintain the object storage cluster as a platform administrator.
CLI Reference
openstack object and openstack container commands for managing object storage resources from the command line.Access Control
Container-level and account-level ACLs control which users and services can read or write object data across your project boundaries.
Key Features
Unlimited Scale
Store billions of objects across petabytes of capacity. The distributed ring architecture scales horizontally — add storage nodes without downtime.
Built-In Redundancy
Configurable replication factors ensure multiple copies of every object are maintained across different zones and drives, protecting against hardware failure.
Object Versioning
Enable versioning on containers to retain all previous versions of every object. Recover from accidental overwrites or deletions without external backup tools.
Large Object Support
Store objects larger than 5 GB using Static Large Objects (SLO) or Dynamic Large Objects (DLO). Assemble multi-part uploads into a single addressable object.
Temporary URLs
Generate time-limited, cryptographically signed URLs for sharing objects without granting permanent access — ideal for file distribution and download links.
Server-Side Encryption
Encrypt object data at rest using keys managed through Xloud Key Manager. Per-container or per-object encryption policies protect sensitive data automatically.
Object Storage Components
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| Account | Top-level namespace for a project’s object storage. Holds containers and account-level metadata |
| Container | A logical bucket within an account. Holds objects and defines access policies and storage configuration |
| Object | An individual data item stored in a container. Includes the payload and user-defined metadata |
| Metadata | Key-value pairs attached to accounts, containers, or objects for organization and workflow integration |
| Storage Policy | A named configuration specifying replication factor, placement rules, and erasure coding for containers |
| Ring | The consistent hash ring mapping objects to physical storage locations across the cluster |
