All data is stored in three copies on independent drives.
Your files survive hardware failure without any action from you.
Servers in Tallinn (EE) and Amsterdam (NL).
Your data never leaves European jurisdiction.
Use the AWS SDK, rclone, s3cmd, Cyberduck, or any S3-compatible tool.
No code changes — just change the endpoint.
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.
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.
Create a bucket, generate your access keys, and start uploading. The control panel is clean and straightforward — no training required.
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.
We own all hardware and operate our own infrastructure — no subcontracting. This means we can guarantee and enforce our SLA with financial liability.
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.
