“With the new features and expanded regional coverage of Lyve Cloud Object Storage we help our global customers looking to build their regional presence and scale cloud native workloads such as AI and machine learning, camera-to-cloud workflows, surveillance and edge data applications.” said Melyssa Banda, VP of enterprise systems and solutions at Seagate. “With these additions to our S3-compatible cloud object storage offering, we are also well positioned to support global and local enterprises in maintaining compliance with data localization policies while navigating the most challenging IT environments and scaling their businesses cost-effectively.”
One of the standout benefits of Lyve Cloud Object Storage is its predictable cost structure. With no minimum object storage retention and no API or egress fees, enterprises can take advantage of unlimited capacity to scale up or down as needed. This flexibility allows businesses to control expenses effectively, which is crucial for managing budgets. Furthermore, Lyve Cloud Object Storage integrates seamlessly with other Lyve services such as Lyve Mobile with Cloud Import providing a comprehensive data management solution for partners and enterprises alike.
From hard disk drives to cloud data solutions, security has always been central to Seagate’s product design. Lyve Cloud Object Storage includes features like Write Once, Read Many (WORM) which ensures data integrity by preventing alterations or deletions once data is written. Data at Rest Encryption (DARE) protects stored data, providing confidentiality. Single Sign-On (SSO) and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) enhance secure access and enable complex web applications to request resources from different origins. These features are included at no extra cost.
