Multi-site, scalable S3 storage for universities & research centres
Get software-defined S3 object storage with an intuitive console and full sovereign control. Keep always-on secure data access/sharing — even if one or more sites go down.
higher infrastructure efficiency
Lower TCO vs. legacy on-prem storage
durability, the highest on the market
Multi-site and PB-scale by design. Low IT overhead.
Control distributed locations from a single, intuitive interface — freeing up time and resources for research activities. Data is encrypted, fragmented, and replicated across multiple locations of your choice.
Use your infrastructure or access existing resources from bare-metal or public cloud.
Adapt to any IT strategy and use case. Customise redundancy, permissions, data localisation, and more.
Deploy gateways from the cloud to the edge, leveraging cache for CDN-like performance.
Designed for data orchestration across universities and research centres
Sovereign and independent
Decide where your data and stack reside — strictly on-prem, in the cloud, or federated across universities and research centres. Granular multi-tenancy gives each user exclusive access to their own projects.
Simple, scalable, and future-proof
Integrate with the entire S3 ecosystem in 15 minutes — no workflow or code changes. Adapt to any IT strategy and store data closer to its source with edge gateways for maximum performance.
Resilient against ransomware and disasters
Immutability, versioning, and encryption shield against cyber risks. Multi-layer erasure coding keeps data available even if one or more sites fail.

FEDERATED STORAGE NETWORK: GARR (Italy’s NREN) example
Cubbit, integrated across GARR’s data centres and high-speed network, creates Europe’s 1st federated S3 storage for education: sovereign local control, multi-site resilience, and always-on data availability.
Universities and research institutions join by contributing their hardware, retaining full control over access, configurations, and data — securely segregated, yet selectively shareable for scientific collaboration.
