/ Security
The part of our Object Store you use is always allocated to an unique project. Projects are used to group resources within the Object Store. As a result, your data is only accessible by you. You can also use this functionality to distinguish between, for example, test an production environments, different websites and/or end customers and between private and public data.
In addition to setting permissions, you can further increase the protection of your data by encrypting it before placing it in the Object Store. Furthermore, we store your data in so-called containers. Data that should be accessible to everyone is stored in a public container. Company-sensitive data is stored in a private container and is only accessible via a key created by you.
We store your data on three different servers in at least two different Dutch data centers. This ensures high security and reliability.
Our Object Store is ISO 27001, ISO 9001 and NEN 7510 certified. Additionally, we have developed CloudControls together with KPMG. These are 44 controls that are independently, or as an appendix to ISO 27001, audited. This protects your data even further.
/ Cloud storage for professionals
Our Object Store – based on OpenStack Swift – consists of an infrastructure that can easily handle huge amounts of data. Ideal as cloud storage for large files such as images, media files or backups that need to be store for a long time.
You can retrieve and manage your data in various ways, including via the OpenStack API, programs such as Putty, URLs, the Skyline Interface or via FTP. We also provide a free backup program to place backups of Linux or Windows systems into the Object Store.
There are API libraries and software development kits (SDK) available for many programming languages, allowing you to automatically use the Object Store from within your application. See our knowledge base for more information on this topic.
/ Content delivered at lightning speed
Our Object Store has 40 Gbps connections to the internet in total, making it surpass peak capacity of an individual cloud server many times. You can also use our free content delivery network to deliver your content even faster to your end users.
