Object Storage Use Cases

The Contabo Object Storage service supports object storage use cases from file sharing and backup to object storage for AI.

File Sharing


Use Contabo for cloud file sharing with ACL controls at the object level. Cloud-based file sharing through cloud object storage removes the need for a separate file server. Public or private links can be created or revoked at any point.

Back Up Files


Contabo offers cloud backup storage solutions with versioning for recovery and object locking for immutable backup storage. Especially under compliance requirements, it's a great option among data backup storage solutions.

AI & Machine Learning


Object Storage for AI offers useful possibilities for training datasets and model checkpoints without a separate data layer. The S3 API connects directly to Apache Spark and common MLOps tooling.

Large Objects


Our infrastructure supports large file storage up to 5 TB per object. That suits cloud object storage workflows like media archives and object storage solutions built around high volumes. There is no object size minimum.

Cold Storage


Our Object Storage works well as cold storage for cloud data you need to retain but rarely access, such as log storage. Unlike many cloud archive storage options, retrieval is not billed separately, so cold storage data costs stay predictable.

NAS Alternative


The key trade-off in NAS vs cloud storage is hardware overhead versus scalability. Our Object Storage offers a practical NAS alternative cloud path for teams where cloud storage vs NAS decisions hinge on S3 API compatibility.

Contabo Object Storage Integrations

Contabo is one of the S3-compatible storage providers built on the Amazon S3 standard. Connecting the Object Storage service usually means a simple credentials and endpoint swap.

Compatible with Amazon S3 Standard

The Contabo S3 Object Storage API is structured following Amazon's S3 standard, so switching to our S3-compatible storage means you only have to change your credentials and endpoint in most cases. Versioning, object locking, ACL management, bucket policies, and link sharing are included. The Web UI also covers routine tasks without using the API.

Redundancy and End-to-End Encryption

Illustration Redundancy and End-to-End Encryption

Every object is protected by triple-replication data redundancy, and storage runs in high availability mode by default. Cloud storage encryption covers data at rest and in transit. End-to-end encryption cloud storage means files are protected during transfer, and cloud data encryption is included on every plan. Physical security, RBAC, and always-on DDoS protection add another layer of resilience.

High Performance and Speed

The Contabo Object Storage service runs on Ceph and follows Red Hat production guidance. Our cloud object storage platform supports 10 MB/s default bandwidth, files up to 5 TB, and 250 API requests per second. All our object storage solutions support 100 buckets and 3 million objects by default.

Easy Migration

img-esy-m-alt

With Contabo, your cloud data migration strategy is simple: just reuse your existing S3-compatible workflows by changing your credentials and endpoint. Rclone and AWS CLI work as cloud data migration tools for bulk moves, while the Web UI handles smaller data migration to cloud scenarios. No custom scripts are required.
