The entire Yowie solutions family provides you with a modern, secure and native S3 bject storage. With S3 being the language of the cloud you cannot only seamlessly connect to any S3 compatible service or application. You will also have a scalable and sovereign single solution for your unstructured data from any data source.

Yes, Amazon Web Services (AWS) developed and launched their Simple Storage Service (S3) in 2006, which has now become the non-proprietary object storage quasi-standard protocol. Object storage was originally designed with the cloud and changing (digital) business practices in mind. The cloud speaks S3 and open S3 API allows multiple differing operating systems and applications to all jointly connect without the traditional technical connectivity challenges and storage siloes. All you need is a web browser. Today, object storage is a proven technology that has been designed to simplify the storage, management, and retrieval of unstructured data in an easier way and thus improves flexibility at a reduced cost compared to traditional block and file storage. Object storage brings a vast range of benefits to your business such as secure and flexible data access, or data sovereignty just to name a few. In summary, whether your business is small or big, you should evaluate how object storage can help you grow, drive innovation, and meet digital transformation goals.

Together with our technology partner Cloudian we can offer the industry’s most complete certifications for object storage. Cloudian Hyperstore is certified to meet the requirements of SEC Rule 17a-4(f), CFTC 17 C.F.R. § 1.31, FINRA 4511c, IDW PS 880 (German) and OR §§ 957ff (Swiss) regulations, and meets the data sanitisation standards specified by NIST 800-88. The latter awarded Cloudian’s FIPS 140-2 Level 1 validation which means that Cloudian HyperStore data encryption methods have been independently reviewed and tested.

Object Lock is currently rated as the optimal protection of data against encryption or tampering through ransomware, other cyberthreats and bad actors. With Object Lock you can block deletion or data tampering during a customer defined retention period. Yowie Hybrid Cloud Storage powered by Cloudian Hyperstore is a hardened solution proven in government and enterprise deployments worldwide. With Object Lock and the enterprise-grade immutable storage design of the entire Yowie family you will never have to pay a data recovery ransom while you’re also fulfilling any IT security compliance or regulartory requirements.

Yes, of course. Whether you want to replicate between multiple on-prem locations only or between on-prem and the cloud is no problem at all. You simply do what’s best for your business and the integrity of your data.

Yes, of course. With Yowie Multi Node Appliances and Yowie Data Platform nodes you can even implement higher data security policies by spreading the data across multiple locations or data centres using distributed erasure coding.

Simply put, dark data describes all the data we constantly produce, collect and store during regular business activities but fail to use it for direct monetisation, analytics or other relevant purposes. In todays data-driven world it is more important than ever to know which data exists and where it it resides because leaving valuable data untapped is a barrier to business success. Implementing a modern, secure, scalable and efficient storage architecture is one important step to take your data out of darkness and fully integrate it into strategic planning and operational processes. Data can easily get dark in the good old hierarchy of folders and directories. Object storage, on the other hand, provides the benefit of using metadata which is makes it much easier to track, work and understand your data. This is how you get into the pole position and gain a competitive advantage with a new and modern storage infrastructure that is less expensive than you might think.

A data lake is a centrally managed, yet scalable distributed data storage repository. Unlike traditional storage a data lake provides a broad range of benefits such as multi-tenancy, GEO distribution, multiple levels of redundancy for optimal data protection, bi-modal data access, and more.

Bi-modal data access means that both file and object-based apps can access any file or object data types. This is important because with bi-modal data access your valuable data is universally accessible across any legacy applications that are still up an running and modern apps you are planning to integrate or just starting to use.

Nope. The unique Yowie Installation Wizard does it for you within minutes and without wasting valuable administrator time.

Yes, you can with peace of mind. The unique Yowie Installation Wizard also provides the option to factory reset the system within a couple of minutes. As all data will be wiped we do it in a very secure multi-factor authentication process to make sure that only authorised individuals can factory reset your Yowie system. However, in a pre-production environment you can install and factory reset your nodes as often as you want or need and within a very short amount of valuable admin time.

By the Collins English Dictionary, Yowie (/ ˈjaʊɪ / ) is a large legendary manlike or apelike creature, alleged to inhabit the Australian outback. The word originates from the Aboriginal word yuwi and this mythical creature is said to live in the outback with most sightings in the eastern states of Australia. In Aboriginal legends Yowie is described as a tall feature with large feet, a large flat nose, huge mouth and bat-like ears. At RNT, it all started with BigFoot Storage Systems so we felt that Yowie was a perfect fit to the monstrous RNT storage family as all the solutions embrace object storage and technological marvel.
