Some highlights
Ransomware protection
It’s no longer the question if, rather than when your business will suffer from a ransomware attack that will hold your data and your systems hostage and disrupt your business. To protect your data and prevent catastrophic data breaches it’s not enough to just have backups. Besides doing your best to prevent ransomware from being installed your stored backup data have to become immutable so they can neither be encrypted nor deleted nor changed. Yowie powered by Cloudian Hyperstore has an award-winning S3 Object Lock enabled at no extra cost and is a must-have; not only in your data protection arsenal but also for your cyber insurance.
Let’s talk about recovery
While backup is important you should be more focused on recovery. Each business is different but in case of a disaster, you must be able to recover your critical data quickly to keep your business alive. Whatever your recovery time objective (RTO) is, keeping your data behind your own firewall allows a fast restore, preferably within hours, not days. For disaster recovery purposes you can even replicate your data from a Yowie appliance to a second Cloudian cluster at a different location and replicate that data to the cloud of your choice.
Cloud storage at the Edge
It’s not about cloud vs edge. It’s about having the best of both worlds. A modern IT infrastructure does no longer comprise of siloed systems that are expensive and difficult to manage. Yowie powered by Cloudian Hyperstore is an edge solution enabling you to create your own local version of Amazon S3 and get all the flexibility and benefits related to the Cloud while you will stay in full control over your data. When your secondary storage is on-premise, you’re no longer dependent on an internet connection as your data resides next door. In case of a disaster, you can quickly start recovery from your local backup without the risk to get sobering invoices from a cloud provider for accessing your own data.
Backup is important
Yowie powered by Cloudian Hyperstore is a modern and future-proof storage appliance that is compatible with backup solutions from almost any leading backup provider like Veeam, Rubrik, CommVault, or Veritas. Almost 80% of your overall data volume does not need to reside on expensive primary storage but can be offloaded to Yowie powered by Cloudian Hyperstore. One appliance lets you implement the golden 3-2-1 rule for backup with simplicity and ease even without being an expert and save up to 70% over the public cloud or traditional storage architectures. This also works without expert knowledge.
Data sovereignty
Whenever your business needs to ensure tight control of data locality, storing your data in the cloud can become challenging because what’s legal in one location can be illegal in another one. Data sovereignty can become a complex task for your business in a digitalised world. Yowie powered by Cloudian Hyperstore lets you stay in full control over your data without removing the scale and advantages of cloud-native data management.
Storage-as-a-Service
Creating your own private cloud S3 storage service is now as easy as pie. With Yowie powered by Cloudian Hyperstore you can start small and grow without disruption. Whether you are a Managed Service Provider (MSP) or a business owner, this compact turnkey solution includes a multi-tenant architecture that is letting you share a single cluster among multiple users and applications while maintaining full data isolation. Implement administrator policies to establish usage quotas, security, or backups and ensure meet SLA requirements with robust Quality of Service tools at no extra cost. With Yowie powered by Cloudian Hyperstore you can deploy Storage-as-a-Service inside your own company, including metering and chargebacks to departments.
The entry-level model provides all functionalities as a single node appliance with 2 hard disks in 1U without compromises from 2TB or optionally 4 TB usable capacity. The Yowie 1100 Series is an ideal and affordable edge solution for branch offices or home office workstations that need on-site Object Lock protection and regularly synchronise data with external storage. Both models are available with a licence period of either 3 or 5 years including software support.
The 1200 series is also a single node appliance with 6 hard drives in 2U and available with either 8TB or 16TB of usable capacity. Thanks to the 6 hard disks, a RAID 6 configuration provides a certain level of security. Nevertheless, we recommend regular synchronization with an external storage. The Yowie 1200 Series makes your data immutable and brings all the benefits of object storage and S3 to organizations managing small amounts of data.

The legend of Yowie: immutable object storage and technological marvel
In eastern Australia, Aboriginal folklore has long spoken of a mystical being known as the Yowie, found in the Blue Mountains and sighted over 3,000 times since European settlement. The Yowie is a more than two-meter-tall ape-like man with dense dark brown to black fur, moving on two legs through the wilderness.
Today, Yowie® has also made its way into the world of storage technology. Rapidly growing data volumes and threats from cyberspace, such as ransomware, present significant challenges for any organization. Modern storage technologies like Object Storage were primarily designed for large enterprises with enormous data volumes and were prohibitively expensive for smaller data needs. As a mid-sized company, we could not and would not accept this.
Just like its namesake from Australian myths, the RNT-Yowie® Storage Appliance family impresses with strength and adaptability. Ranging from 2 TB of usable capacity to the petabyte range, our turnkey solutions offer modern, immutable object storage that meets the highest security standards and is ready for use in less than an hour thanks to our integrated installation assistant.
The name Yowie® was not chosen by chance: With five nodes symbolizing the five continents, our flagship Yowie® Appliances reflect the global reach and universal need for reliable storage solutions. Whether in the dense forests of Australia or in data centres around the world, Yowie stands for strength, reliability, and the ability to thrive in a constantly changing environment. With our Yowie® solution portfolio, customers have access to affordable and secure storage alternatives designed for the modern digital world.
