Descriptions


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).


OVH Object Storage


OVH has been around in the cloud hosting world for a very long time. In the 20 years they’ve been in the hosting industry, they have certainly earned their stripes.

OVH’s public cloud storage offering is quite literally a hosted version of Openstack Swift in the past, they’re putting more effort into creating a better value-add, with slick documentation and to-the-point FAQ.

A big advantage for European companies is that OVH’s Object Storage is completely GDPR compliant.

Clients of OVH’s storage product are not disclosed, making privacy sort of a feature.
