S3-Compatible Object Storage

S3-compatible object storage for backups, archives, media and data lakes

Regions: tr-ist-01 (İstanbul) · tr-ank-01 (Ankara).

An object split into chunks and distributed across two regions through a bucket.

The file is written to the S3-compatible endpoint under a bucket and a key.

Answer

What is Object Storage?

Object Storage (PVOS) is S3-compatible object storage that keeps data in buckets. It is used for backups, archives, media and data lakes.

Cost depends on stored data volume, request and data transfer pattern, retention and lifecycle approach. Review the current estimate in the cost calculator.Calculate Cost

Live capacity and quota depend on the selected resource; service level terms are explained on the SLA page.

Features

Key Features

  1. S3-compatible bucket and object access
  2. Access through SDKs and S3 tools
  3. Credential creation for access
  4. Data organized by object key and metadata
  5. Infrastructure located in Türkiye: İstanbul (tr-ist-01) and Ankara (tr-ank-01)

How it works

How the infrastructure works

When Should You Choose Object Storage?

Evaluate object storage when an application can read and write data by bucket and object key rather than through an attached disk. Media, static assets, logs, archives, backup packages and datasets are typical candidates. Block storage can be more natural for operating-system disks, database files or frequent random block updates. Choose by access and update pattern before capacity.

What S3 Compatibility Covers

You access buckets and objects through an S3-compatible API. The endpoint, region and credentials are created in the console. Supported operations are in the documentation.

S3 Migration Checklist

Inventory source buckets, object count and size distribution, total data, metadata, ACLs or policies, versioning, lifecycle, encryption, object lock, the application endpoint and data-egress cost. Copy a small dataset and check checksums. Define dual-write or a maintenance window, endpoint cutover and rollback.

Data Location and Cost Scope

Object Storage runs on infrastructure located in Türkiye. Regions are limited to İstanbul (tr-ist-01) and Ankara (tr-ank-01). Cost follows stored data, request count and data transfer. You can see current prices in the cost calculator.

FAQ

Related Questions

Which workloads are a good fit for object storage?

Evaluate object storage when an application can read and write data by bucket and object key rather than through an attached disk. Media, static assets, logs, archives, backup packages and datasets are typical candidates. Block storage may be a better fit for operating-system disks, database files or frequent random block updates.

What is the difference between object storage and block storage?

Object storage manages data in buckets by object key and metadata through an API. Block storage attaches a disk-like volume to a server so the operating system can run a filesystem or database on it. The right choice depends more on access, update and latency needs than on capacity alone.

Is S3-compatible object storage identical to AWS S3?

You access buckets and objects through an S3-compatible API. Endpoints and credentials are created in the console. Supported operations are in the documentation.

How should existing S3 data be migrated to PortvMind Cloud Object Storage?

Copy your existing buckets to PortvMind Cloud Object Storage with S3-compatible tools. Endpoints and credentials are created in the console.

How does pricing work?

PortvMind Cloud uses a pay-as-you-go model with per-minute billing. Total cost depends on resource type, selected configuration, storage, network and runtime. Current unit prices are in the console and at calculator.portvmind.com.
