Public cloud storage — explore solutions

Five storage tiers, one accountable operator

Storage

Cloud Storage Services

End-to-end managed storage across object, file, block, and archive. Unified policy, monitoring, and billing across tiers and vendors.

Storage

Object Storage

S3-compatible scalable object storage for cloud-native applications, backups, media libraries, and data lakes.

Storage

File Storage

Shared NFS and SMB file systems for applications, collaboration, home directories, and persistent workloads.

Storage

Block Storage

High-performance persistent volumes for compute, databases, and latency-sensitive transactional workloads.

Storage

Cold Archive

Long-term low-cost archival storage for compliance retention, legal hold, and historical data preservation.

Storage

A different storage shape?

Parallel file systems, GPU-attached NVMe, tape retention, or sovereign-region storage. We scope and operate the combination.

Overview

Multi-vendor managed public cloud storage

intSignal's public cloud storage services give enterprises one operator across the major hyperscalers, sovereign regional providers, and our own managed platform — delivered with the same SLAs, change control, and reporting model.

Our engineering team selects the right storage class for each workload, sets encryption and lifecycle policy, monitors integrity, and runs scheduled restore drills against documented RTO and RPO targets.

Capabilities

What's in scope

  • S3, NFS, SMB, and iSCSI protocol coverage across regions
  • Multi-vendor: AWS, Azure, GCP, OVHcloud, intSignal platform
  • Encryption at rest (AES-256) and in flight (TLS 1.3)
  • Object versioning, immutability, and object-lock
  • Automated lifecycle policy between hot, warm, and cold tiers
  • SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, FedRAMP alignment
  • Tested restore drills with audit evidence — not job-complete status

Application PUT / GET / DEL S3 API bucket / key Zone A shard 1 shard 4 parity p1 checksum ✓ Zone B shard 2 shard 5 parity p2 checksum ✓ Zone C shard 3 shard 6 parity p3 checksum ✓

How it works

Erasure-coded across availability zones

Objects are split into data shards and parity shards using Reed-Solomon erasure coding, then distributed across three zones. Any single zone can fail and the object reconstructs from the remaining shards.

Continuous background scrubbing verifies checksums and rebuilds shards before durability is impacted.

API

S3-compatible

Drop-in compatibility with the AWS S3 API surface. Existing SDKs, tools, and ETL pipelines continue to work unchanged.

Durability

11 nines

Erasure-coded across availability zones with continuous integrity scanning. Designed for 99.999999999% annual durability.

Protection

Object lock & versioning

WORM retention, governance and compliance modes, and full version history for regulated workloads and ransomware resilience.

How it works

Shared mount, native protocols

One file system mounted concurrently by Linux, Windows, and clustered workloads over NFS or SMB. POSIX semantics and Active Directory integration let existing applications run unchanged.

Per-share quotas, snapshots, and QoS controls keep noisy neighbors from impacting other tenants on the same volume.

Protocols

NFS v3, v4.1, SMB 3

Native protocol support for Linux, Windows, and mixed environments. POSIX semantics and Active Directory integration available.

Scaling

Elastic capacity

Grow file systems online without provisioning headroom. Per-share quotas, snapshots, and quality-of-service controls.

Workloads

Shared workloads

Engineered for home directories, build farms, content repositories, and applications that need concurrent shared access.

Compute instance Postgres / MySQL OS: /dev/vdb mounted filesystem: ext4 iSCSI / virtio <10ms p95 Block volume NVMe-backed · 500 GB · 20k IOPS snapshot policy: hourly + daily multi-attach available Fixed-size blocks · 4 KB 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x03 0x04 0x05 0x06 0x07 0x08 0x09 0x0A 0x0B 0x0C 0x0D 0x0E 0x0F in use by filesystem free / available

How it works

Raw blocks, filesystem on top

The volume presents fixed-size blocks to the guest OS over iSCSI or virtio-blk. The instance lays its own filesystem on top — ext4, XFS, NTFS — giving full control over allocation and caching.

NVMe-backed storage delivers sub-10ms p95 latency. Snapshots are crash- or application-consistent, and multi-attach supports clustered databases and HA configurations.

Performance

NVMe-backed volumes

Sub-10ms p95 latency on premium volumes. Choose IOPS and throughput independently from capacity for database workloads.

Data protection

Snapshots & clones

Crash-consistent and application-consistent snapshots with instant volume clones for test, dev, and recovery scenarios.

Topology

Multi-attach support

Attach a single volume to multiple compute instances for clustered databases and shared-disk HA designs.

How it works

Tiered lifecycle, restore on demand

Lifecycle policies move objects from hot to warm to cold based on age, access pattern, or object tag. The object's identifier and metadata stay constant — only the storage tier changes.

Retrievals from cold are queued and hydrated within documented restore windows, with legal hold and retention rules enforced throughout the process.

Economics

Sub-cent storage

Sub-cent per GB monthly storage for data accessed less than once a year. Predictable retrieval and egress pricing.

Compliance

Retention & legal hold

Legal hold, retention policies, and tamper-evident logs designed for regulatory archive obligations measured in years.

Redundancy

Cross-region replication

Optional geographic redundancy for archive data with documented restore-time expectations per region pairing.

How it works

One control plane, every vendor

Lifecycle policies, encryption, identity, telemetry, and SLA reporting are defined once in the intSignal control plane and applied uniformly across AWS, Azure, GCP, OVHcloud, and intSignal's own platform.

Operators interact through a unified console; CI/CD pipelines drive infrastructure changes through the same Terraform provider and REST API.
