- An all-inclusive pricing structure that makes it simple to estimate and budget for future Object Storage needs
- Unlimited bandwidth and operating fees that are included in the per-GB storage price

- Offloaded backups that are self-sufficient, allowing for importation even if the on-premises backup server and all of its settings and database are erased
A single platform for backup and archiving
Archive and back up short- and long-term data using the Cloud Console with complete support for industry-leading data protection solutions that are S3 compatible.
ThinkOn Standard Object Storage enables you to:
- Keep and manage database files such as transaction logs
- Eliminate the requirement for legacy tape archiving solutions
- Give your Cloud Standard Object Storage fast search and restore functionality
- Reduce egress traffic. When performing restores, matched blocks are read from the nearest on-premises backup file rather than being pulled from object storage.
Straightforward, effective design
- Backups that have been offloaded to Standard Object Storage are easily accessible for production restores without the need for staging
- Because offloaded backups are not reliant on any external catalog or metadata, even if the configuration and database of the on-premises backup server are totally lost, they can still be imported
- There is no vendor lock-in with secondary storage appliances
- Backup files are forever incrementally offloaded to Standard Object Storage, avoiding duplication of multiple full backups
