Object Storage is the S3-compatible storage solution that grows with any data requirements – secure, flexible and accessible via API. Object Storage offers the ideal solution for managing data-intensive workloads e.g. for backups, multimedia or big data. In contrast to conventional storage solutions, data is organized as objects consisting of the data itself, the metadata and a unique ID. This structure makes it easy to manage the data, search through it and organize it, and is particularly suitable for large, unstructured amounts of data. As a data center operator and hosting provider headquartered in Germany, data protection is a top priority at Hetzner. Thanks to strict compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), customers benefit from the highest security standards and best practices.
