"Italy-based service provider Herabit has opted for Cubbit S3 distributed cloud storage in a move aimed at meeting demands for improved data sovereignty from its customer base. The move will see the company use Cubbit's DS3 Composer across three datacentres in northern Italy to provide backup, long-term data archiving and the creation of data lakes for artificial intelligence (AI) systems for Italian customers."
"DS3 Composer builds a peer-to-peer cloud built on customer nodes - physical or virtual - that act as a gateway and broker in a mesh with other customer nodes. Minimum node deployment is three, which allows for data to be shared for resilience and security. Nodes can be on-site or in the cloud, although the latter is less cost-effective, and bare metal is the preferred option if a node is off-site."
Herabit adopted Cubbit's S3 distributed cloud storage to supply S3-compatible, sovereign storage across three northern Italy datacentres for backups, long-term archiving and AI data lakes. Customer demand for S3 integration and the management overhead of previous mixed on-premise and software-defined systems prompted the change. The deployment uses DS3 Composer to form a peer-to-peer cloud of customer nodes acting as gateways and brokers in a mesh. Minimum deployment of three nodes enables data sharing for resilience and security; nodes can be on-site or cloud-based, with bare metal preferred for off-site nodes. The solution supports up to 2PB total capacity across three locations.
