Internxt S3 compatible cloud object storage

Object storage stores large amounts of data, like photos, videos, and emails, as individual “objects” with unique identifiers.

Unlike traditional file storage, which organizes data in a hierarchical file system, object storage stores data as objects in a flat address space, typically in a distributed storage infrastructure.

As a result, cloud object storage allows for easier scaling, faster access to individual items, and potentially lower costs depending on your storage needs.

The S3 protocol, or Simple Storage Service protocol, is a set of rules and standards that define how data is accessed, stored, and managed within Amazon S3, a popular cloud storage service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

With Internxt cloud object storage, you can scale your storage to meet your needs. Our plans charge you monthly for each gigabyte-per-day-used you want to use. You can add or delete storage based on your needs.

Yes, Internxt object storage is compatible with AWS S3 APIs, allowing seamless integration with a wide range of applications, tools, and services that support the S3 protocol.

S3 object storage allows users to upload, retrieve, and manage objects (files and data) using a simple web interface and APIs. The protocol ensures data integrity, security through access controls, and scalability to accommodate varying storage needs seamlessly across distributed servers.

Internxt’s minimum monthly policy for object storage plans is 1TB. If stored objects are deleted before they have been stored with Internxt for 30 days, a time-deleted storage charge will be applied that is equal to the remaining days left on the monthly subscription.

This policy is the same as the minimum storage duration policy that AWS and other hyperscaler storage services charge.

Internxt has a monthly minimum charge associated with a 1TB monthly paid account. If you store less than 1TB, for example, the 4KB minimum, you will be charged for 1TB of storage.

There is a minimum file size charge of 4KB. Storing a 4KB file will incur charges equivalent to a 1TB file. This policy resembles the minimum capacity charge per object policies found in some AWS storage.

For example, if you upload a file named 'file.pdf' and overwrite it with a new version without changing the file name or using versioning the next day, the original file will transition from active storage to deleted storage.

This incurs charges for one day of active storage and 29 or 89 days of deleted storage, depending on your account's minimum storage retention policy. Additionally, charges will apply for storing the new version of 'file.pdf.'

If you delete objects from Internxt object storage before they have been stored for 30 days, you will still be charged as if those objects had been stored for the full 30 days.

This policy ensures a minimum charge period for stored data, regardless of how long the objects were actually stored before deletion.
