VersityGW’s POSIX backend maps S3 object keys directly to filesystem paths — no proprietary encoding, no vendor lock-in at the data layer. Learn how administrators use standard POSIX tools alongside the S3 API to manage, back up, and migrate data without gateway dependency.
Forty to sixty petabytes per rack, customer-serviceable, no specialized infrastructure required. Tape is back — but the S3 gateway you choose matters more than the library, and getting it wrong means losing data portability for the entire life of your archive.
The Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) selected Versity’s ScoutAM to power Ranch, a new exascale archive built to support Horizon — set to become the world’s largest academic supercomputer for open scientific research. By adopting a two-tier flash-to-tape architecture, TACC eliminated mid-tier disk in favor of a faster, more cost-efficient approach to managing up to one exabyte of data. Read on to learn how Versity’s open, vendor-agnostic platform gave TACC the flexibility, scalability, and simplicity to meet the demands of AI-driven science.
Engineers at CERN have contributed a shared library plugin framework to the open-source Versity S3 Gateway, making it easier to connect new storage backends without modifying core code. Their reference implementation — the EOS S3 plugin — maps S3 operations directly to CERN’s petabyte-scale distributed storage system used by the Large Hadron Collider. Read on to learn how the plugin model works and how you can contribute.
The Versity S3 Gateway’s stateless architecture transforms S3-compatible storage with unmatched scalability, resilience, and efficiency. Learn how it simplifies load balancing, enhances fault tolerance, and adapts seamlessly to any infrastructure.
The Versity team executed comprehensive tests to evaluate the performance of accessing an object storage system through the Versity S3 Gateway, comparing the performance as gateway instances were added to the system. Read the full study to see how the zero communication stateless design of the Gateway allows nearly perfect scalability!
The Versity team conducted a series of tests to evaluate the efficiency and scalability of their Versity S3 Gateway. These tests included concurrent 1 MB object uploads, 10 GiB object concurrent multipart uploads, and various request rate loads. The objective was to assess the Gateway’s performance across different workloads and to compare its capabilities in direct S3 service access versus Gateway proxy access. Additionally, the team examined CPU and memory usage, demonstrating the Gateway’s proficiency in managing substantial workloads with minimal resource overhead.
