Cloud Storage: Simplified
Cloud Storage: Simplified
Built on a modern, globally distributed data storage mesh where object storage and high-capacity networks function as one. It’s everything you’ve come to expect from the cloud and more: scalable on demand, performant, multi-cloud ready, easy to use, highly durable, and secure. And it has a huge advantage over other providers: cost. The cost of NEBULA is significantly lower (up to 80% less expensive) than the big-name Cloud Service Providers (CSPs).
We designed NEBULA to charge for the storage you use and nothing more. No hidden costs to put your data into the cloud or take it out. No hidden or complex fair usage policies. And no hidden support charges. Just pay for the amount of space you want and scale up or down when you need to.
What is NEBULA?
NEBULA is an Affordable, Globally Distributed Data Storage Mesh.
Designed for cloud-based production, archiving, and backup, SymplyNEBULA is built using a modern architecture that enables both object storage and high-capacity networks to function as a single platform. This flexibility delivers performant access to S3 data pools for use with any application, from any connected location. But without the typical capabilities vs. cost trade-off.
Normally, users need to decide if they want fast, configurable cloud storage or a lower price with less performance and fewer features.
Large public cloud providers are often slow and inflexible, charging I/O operations for writing data to their systems and for retrieving that content. They do, however, offer great capabilities including AI, machine learning, in-depth analytics, and slower cold data storage tiers.
On the other hand, single tier cloud providers offer a lower cost alternative, but still charge for content retrieval and have complex fair usage policies that can lead to unexpected bills.
What if you didn’t have to choose? What if there was a cloud storage solution that provided the features of the big cloud service providers, the cost of the single tiers, and didn’t charge to get at your data?
SymplyNEBULA cloud storage is designed to meet the needs of customers by offering outstanding performance regardless of how much storage you use. If you need 10s to 100s of TBs with instances access and no minimum data retention time, then Nebula is an affordable, performant cloud tier with low per-terabyte monthly costs and no content retrieval charges. Just determine your monthly storage requirement, reserve that capacity, and that’s all you pay for.
Need PBs of data in colder storage tier, but still with instance access? Then SymplyNEBULA Depot offers a low per-terabyte monthly costs, comparable to that of the Hyperscaler low-cost storage tiers but with the advantage of instant access and no content retrieval charges. Why wait hours or even days for access to your data, and be charged for the privilege? Nebula Depot gives you the benefit of an aggressive Petabyte per month storage costs and instance access to your data.
What’s more, there’s no hard limit for either service– you can add as much capacity into SymplyNEBULA as you need, and we’ll just bill you for the difference. Simple.
- NEBULA From $7.50 per TB per Month (No Minimum Object Retention Time)
- NEBULA Depot $3.75TB per PB per Month (1PB Minimum Contract, 180 Day Minimum Object Retention Time)
- Support Included
- Always Know Your Cost – No Surprises
- Multi-Cloud Optimized – Take Advantage of Compute Services from AWS, Azure, GCP and others
- Eleven Nines” (99.999999999%) Data Durability
- Object Locking Feature for Immutability (WORM)
- Data is Protected via SSL Inflight and Optionally Secured with AES 256 Encryption At Rest.
- Worldwide Data Centres Including US, UK, Europe and Asia.
- With 99% coverage of AWS S3 API SymplyNEBULA is Compatible with almost all S3 applications including leading media asset managers, data movers, backup and archive software.
Active Archive
Restoring a backup is time critical. SymplyNEBULA offers data independence for almost any scenario while providing faster data retrieval and better value than alternatives such as deep cloud archives and LTO.
Replication
Make up to three-way replicas of your data, allowing for greater sharing between geos. Create, read, and modify files across multiple locations without complexity and in near real-time.
Multi Cloud
Our software defined mesh network integrates with cloud service providers to deliver low latency cloud adjacent performance for data processing. A bucket within SymplyNEBULA can be accessed by applications such as big analytics, machine learning, and AI running in multiple cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and GCP. SymplyNEBULA allows one consistent data set to be used across multiple clouds
NEBULA vs Public Cloud Providers
| NEBULA | Other Providers |
| Distributed Mesh Network Design: Storage is made available when and where it’s needed. | Legacy Architecture: Forces users to choose a location/region |
