Gunzenhausen, 03.12.2024 (PresseBox) - The German hosting and cloud provider Hetzner is expanding its portfolio with Object Storage – a high-performance, scalable and S3-compatible solution for storing unstructured data. Object Storage is characterised by a high degree of flexibility, cost efficiency and comprehensive security standards and is ideally suited for data-intensive applications.

In contrast to conventional storage technologies, which are based on block or file systems, Object Storage structures data in the form of objects. In addition to the actual data, each object contains specific metadata and a unique identifier, which enables fast and precise searches and efficient management of large amounts of data with optimal scalability.

With object storage, data can be stored and managed separately in a high-performance and flexible manner in a closed environment known as Buckets. The technology is suitable for a wide range of use cases, such as backing up, restoring, and archiving data, and also for big data analysis and IoT data management.

Hetzner’s Object Storage has a monthly base price of $ 5.99 / € 4.99, which includes 1 TB of storage and 1 TB of egress traffic. Storage space and traffic in excess of the quota is charged on a pay-as-you-go basis at $ 0.0080 / € 0.0067 per TB-hour for storage space and $ 1.20 / € 1.00 per TB for outgoing traffic.

Data can be stored in compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Hetzner’s data centers in Falkenstein, Nuremberg or Helsinki.
