Digital Ocean Spaces compared to G-Core Storage

Digital Ocean Spaces

Digital Ocean is one of the few companies that grew over time and actually made it to the champions leage of Cloud Hosting Providers. It’s only logical DO should offer an object storage solution.

Digital Ocean has established itself over the years as being developer friendly, posting an abundance of useful Sysadmin/developer articles. The value and quality of their blog closely represents their product, which is clean, has good concise documentation, and works great.

Their clients include InfluxDB and Edge Compute company Section; (see our srvrlss profile on them).

G-Core Storage

G-Core, once a spin-off of Wargaming, has evolved into a full blown hosting company. Initially, G-Core identified itself as a CDN company. But with the Edge Compute trend going on, our guess is that any CDN company will eventually become either a dedicated hosting or a dedicated compute company.

Wargaming specifically uses G-Core’s Storage solution. And we’re sure many other of G-Core’s hosting customers are also utilizing their storage.

The true strength of G-Core lies in its extensive network and their strong presence in Eastern European countries. Like Centurylink, CDN is the core of the company, so you can expect good performance/TTFB (Time to First Byte) on your assets.

G-Core’s in-portal access to support is a key feature. When dealing with problems, their support is fast and helpful.
