OSNEXUS Announces S3 Object Storage Bucket Replication and Object Locking in QuantaStor 5

OSNEXUS, the leading developer of grid-scale software-defined storage solutions, today announced that its QuantaStor platform now enables S3 Storage Object Locking for data governance and compliance policy enforcement.

With this latest release, IT staff can provision S3 buckets within QuantaStor with configurable data retention periods to meet the needs of regulated industries.

QuantaStor's ability to manage multiple clusters also makes it easier to manage multi-site object storage zones. With multi-site configurations, a complete copy of every object can be maintained in a second zone with active/active write permissions to add content to buckets anywhere, anytime.

"Regulated industries such as finance and healthcare have strict compliance and data governance requirements which necessitate features like storage object locking," said Steven Umbehocker, CEO of OSNEXUS. “We are pleased to bring this capability to QuantaStor to meet the needs of regulated industries in order to help them implement and streamline security and compliance requirements.”

QuantaStor provides a number of other security features including end-to-encryption, HIPAA, and NIST 800-171 compliance making QuantaStor ideal for meeting the security requirements of larger organizations. FIPS-140-2 certification is in progress and is targeted for Q4/2020.

The OSNEXUS QuantaStor platform delivers a complete array of enterprise features and capabilities for file, block, and object storage. Additionally, it addresses a broad set of storage use cases including server virtualization, big data, cloud computing, and high-performance applications through scale-out physical and virtual storage appliances.

QuantaStor 5.8 with Object Locking will be generally available (GA) in November 2020.
