S3 Full Flash – High-Performance and Resilient Object Storage

Addressing the challenges of modern unstructured data

The exponential growth of unstructured data has become a major challenge for businesses today. It is increasingly crucial to store, secure, and leverage this data effectively in a constantly evolving technology landscape.

KDDI France’s S3 Full Flash solution is designed to meet this challenge. It combines the high performance of 100% flash technology with the flexibility and scalability of the S3 object protocol, within a modern, reliable, and efficient architecture.

Optimized for hybrid and cloud-native environments, this solution consolidates massive volumes of files—whether images, videos, application logs, or backups. It delivers high performance, advanced security, and simplified management, while optimizing energy consumption and total cost of ownership.

A flash-based infrastructure built for large-scale performance

Based on a fully distributed and 100% flash architecture, S3 Full Flash ensures service continuity even under heavy workloads, while delivering low latency and sustained throughput. It is ideally suited for data-intensive workloads such as data repositories, AI/ML projects, or cloud backup systems.

Our technical strengths

Native NVMe flash technology: fast data access with consistent performance, even at high volumes.
S3-compatible interface: full support for AWS S3 REST APIs, ensuring seamless integration with existing cloud applications.
Horizontal scalability: expand the platform without downtime by dynamically adding nodes.
Multi-tenant & multi-region: segmented data management by project, department, or geographic location.

Data Security and Compliance Built into the Architecture

Security is at the core of the solution. Designed to protect critical data from both internal and external threats, the S3 Full Flash solution integrates advanced mechanisms for encryption, resilience, and immutability.

Data encryption at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS) enabled by default, with no impact on performance.
Immutable Object Locking: prevents any unauthorized deletion or modification, ensuring data preservation even in the event of compromise.
Multi-node distribution with automatic replication to guarantee fault tolerance and high availability.
Native compliance with GDPR, ISO/IEC 27001, HDS, and other regulatory standards.

A Sustainable Response to the Environmental Challenges of the Datacenter

Energy efficiency is now a strategic criterion in IT infrastructure design. The S3 Full Flash solution significantly reduces the carbon footprint of storage environments while improving their density and efficiency.

Up to 85% reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional disk-based systems.
Reduced physical space requirements in the datacenter, thanks to optimized storage density.
Less maintenance, less electronic waste: a solution built to last while supporting companies’ ESG initiatives.
Compliance with new environmental regulations, including cooling and energy requirements.

Advanced Management Features:

Designed to ease the burden on IT teams managing complex data silos, the solution integrates an orchestration layer that enables centralized control, monitoring, and automation of the entire data lifecycle from a unified interface.

Advanced management features:

Centralized administration console with real-time monitoring and multi-site control.
Automated lifecycle policies: intelligent migration of objects to more cost-efficient storage classes based on usage.
Broad interoperability with monitoring and automation tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Kubernetes, Ansible).
Native multi-petabyte support without added complexity, even in fast-growth environments.

Strategic Use Cases

With its advanced technological positioning, S3 Full Flash addresses critical requirements across a wide range of use cases:

Long-term archiving with guaranteed data integrity and protection against accidental or malicious deletions.
Cloud backup and integrated Disaster Recovery within resilient STaaS scenarios.
High-density media repositories: seamless management of video, 3D, and medical imaging content.
Data lakes for AI / machine learning projects: fast ingestion and low-latency access.
Infrastructure modernization: migrating from NAS or legacy platforms to a more agile object storage architecture.

The solution proposed by KDDI France is part of a comprehensive cloud storage approach, hosted in France within certified data centers, with dedicated local support and controlled data governance.
