To simplify S3 object storage interoperability, VMware launched the Object Storage Interoperability Service (OSIS), which allows any S3-compliant vendor to officially work directly with the VMware Cloud Director UI. This capability gives customers faster access to S3 object storage services, reducing the friction previously required for customized solutions. Service providers and their customers can now seamlessly manage petabyte-scale object storage directly from the VMware Cloud Director user interface. The OSIS extension permits Cloud Director to talk directly to Scality RING to simplify the management of tenant and user information.

Faster time-to-market with more ‘as-a-Service’ offerings

VMware Cloud Director allows service providers to deliver cloud services and as-a-Service (aaS) offerings to their customers. With a scalable S3-compatible object store at their fingertips, service providers can pivot quickly to build new services and revenue streams.

Powered by the new Scality RING OSIS Adapter, Scality now delivers rapid deployment of a variety of object storage service offerings that include: Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS), Backup-as-a-Service (BaaS), Ransomware-protection-as-a-Service (RPaaS) and many other “aaS” right through the UI in minutes.

Scality gives service providers a cyber-resilient cloud offering with:

Comprehensive Amazon S3 compatibility
● S3 API support including all bucket and object operations, plus advanced APIs for object
locking, replication, lifecycle management, versioning, encryption and more
● AWS-compatible identity and access management for secure multi-tenancy and a
seamless experience
● Optimized S3 metadata engine tuned to the access patterns and performance profiles
of S3 applications
● Hybrid-cloud namespace enables replication or lifecycle transitioning of data to any
location, whether stored on Scality, a supported public cloud (AWS, Azure, Google or
CSP) or tape.

Unbreakable, enterprise-grade security
● Comprehensive AWS-compatible multi-tenancy for secure management of accounts,
users groups, roles and policies
● Immutability via S3 Object Lock with configurable data retention policies and
compliance mode
● Over-the-wire data encryption via HTTPS (TLS)
● AES 256-bit data encryption-at-rest with support for key management systems (KMS)
over standard KMIP API
● Role-based access control (RBAC) with 5 predefined levels of administrative roles, each
with specific access controls
● Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for secure UI logins, plus automated firewall rules on
deployment
● Security-hardened operating system
● Asynchronous replication to a remote Scality target, cloud or tape for D/R or air-gapping

Boundless scalability
● Proven in 500+ customer production environments to scale to over 100PB and 100s of
billions of objects in a single, distributed system — no downtime or disruption of access
● S3 performance scales out linearly to match capacity, even for high-churn workloads
that would make other systems buckle

Operational and economic efficiency
● Intuitive UI provides simple portal-style management APIs with dashboards for a range
of health status views, from high-level to heavily-detailed
● Automated management and monitoring via REST APIs make it easy to build
automation tools, scripts or apps
● Super durable and space-efficient data protection via industry-leading erasure coding,
data integrity assurance and self-healing mechanisms
● Consumption-based utilization reporting gives insights into capacity and performance
per site/account/user
● 100% software-defined approach leverages standard x64 hardware
● Cloud-style subscription pricing based on usable capacity makes things straightforward
and affordable
