Cloud backup storage that keeps your data safe.

Cloud backup storage, particularly with Storj Object Storage, involves securely storing copies of your important files and data across remote data centers via the internet. These backups ensure your data remains accessible and protected, even in the event of a disaster such as natural disasters, hardware failures, power outages, or cyberattacks. Unlike relying solely on physical hard drives or on-site servers, Storj's cloud backup storage provides a scalable, distributed, and cost-efficient solution designed for modern data needs.

Object storage backup with Storj organizes data into individual objects, combining the data, metadata, and unique identifiers for ease of access and scalability. Unlike traditional hierarchical storage systems, object storage provides unlimited storage, faster retrieval times, and increased flexibility, making it a superior choice for businesses needing to manage several TB of storage or more.

Storj Object Storage prioritizes reliable disaster recovery by distributing encrypted copies of your data across a decentralized network, ensuring it remains accessible despite events like natural disasters, power outages, cyberattacks, or server malfunctions. Quick recovery minimizes downtime and upholds business continuity, safeguarding your operations, reputation, and revenue. You can also add Object Mount to your disaster recovery plans to further reduce your recovery time.
