Triple replication

All data is stored in three copies on independent drives.
Your files survive hardware failure without any action from you.

Data in the EU

Servers in Tallinn (EE) and Amsterdam (NL).
Your data never leaves European jurisdiction.

S3-compatible API

Use the AWS SDK, rclone, s3cmd, Cyberduck, or any S3-compatible tool.
No code changes — just change the endpoint.

Why teams choose HexCore S3

Enterprise-grade hardware

We use enterprise SSD and HDD drives with hardware RAID. Every object is automatically replicated three times. Object versioning lets you roll back any file at any time.

Encrypted access

All data is transmitted over HTTPS. Access keys and bucket policies follow the standard S3 permission model. Fine-grained ACL and per-bucket policies supported.

Ready in 3 clicks

Create a bucket, generate your access keys, and start uploading. The control panel is clean and straightforward — no training required.

High-speed network

Our data centers are connected to multiple Tier-1 uplinks including Juniper MX480 routers, Comfortel, DataIX, and AMS-IX. Low latency from anywhere in Europe.

99.96% SLA uptime

We own all hardware and operate our own infrastructure — no subcontracting. This means we can guarantee and enforce our SLA with financial liability.

No vendor lock-in

Standard S3 API means you can migrate to or from HexCore with zero code changes. Your tooling, workflows, and integrations all continue to work as-is.
