Cloudlocker with S3 Archiving

Balancing Privacy with Convenience

Despite our name, Cloudlocker is not just in the cloud. We’ve combined the simplicity and efficiency of Cloudlocker with S3 protocol to offer a hybrid data archiving solution. No more debating the pros and cons of a fully cloud-based storage solution or remaining on-premises.  

Autonomy

You’ll store all of your EML files yourself. We’ll store metadata for basic searching, and content only when you choose. With no data lock, you maintain control of your data.

Security

You provide Cloudlocker a digital key to access your S3 data, which you can revoke at any time.  This reduces the risk of accidental exposure and breaches.

Flexibility

You have options: keeping your data on-prem in your own data center, or with any cloud platform (AWS, Dell, Hitachi, etc.) that supports S3 protocol.

the power of S3

Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is a widely popular object storage service that’s able to store virtually any type of data. S3’s functionality, combined with the Cloudlocker system, is ideal for archive data.

Scalability
AWS S3 is fully elastic, automatically growing and shrinking as you add and remove data. Pay only for what you use.

Durability
AWS S3 is designed to provide 99.999999999% data durability and 99.99% availability by default.

Security
Secure, private, and encrypted by default, and supports numerous auditing capabilities.

Diagram showing how S3 protocol works with Cloudlocker. On the left, Full EMLs are connected to the Amazon S3 icon (red blocks). S3 connects to the Microsft Azure logo (a blue A) via Secure HTTP. The Azure logo is connected to the Cloudlocker logo. On the right of the Azure logo are several arrows pointing to text lables of "metadata" "legal holds" "on demand deep search" and "exports." All except for metadata are grouped together with a bracket and labled "customer-controlled deletion"

hybrid archiving Use cases

llms and ai

Local storage means having full control over your data, and simple access to your information. Companies can curate and export their own data to train private AI-agents and large language models (LLMs), without any retrieval fees from Cloudlocker.   

regulated industries​

Government, healthcare, and finance industries face stronger regulations on data privacy and cloud software. Avoid possible limitations on using cloud software, additional security requirements, authorizations, and red tape, by controlling your data on your own terms.

steps to the cloud​

Cloudlocker’s hybrid data archive solution serves as a compromise between remaining a fully on-premises organization and complete cloud adoption. For organizations unsure about moving to the cloud, S3 archiving with Cloudlocker is a steppingstone between the “old way” and the “modern way.”
