Product features

Flexible data management

• Create, view and delete bucket:

  • Users can customize the number of buckets to be created and modify quotas according to needs;
  • Users can modify and view bucket access permissions as needed.

• Upload, view and delete object:

  • There is no limit to the number of objects that users can store;
  • Objects support any type of data such as text, multimedia, and binary;
  • Each object can contain data ranging from 0 bytes to 48.8 TB;
  • Users can define resource attributes using both general and custom metadata mechanisms.

Upload large file in parts

• For ultra-large files exceeding 5 GB, users can use the Multipart Upload Mechanism; for files exceeding 100 KB but not exceeding 5 GB, users can choose whether to use multipart upload.
• Users can divide a very large file into smaller parts (called sub-objects or Parts) and upload them individually. Once the upload is complete, BOS automatically validates the data and merges the sub-objects into a single object to finalize the multipart upload.
• Each Part must be no larger than 5 GB, and except for the last Part, the size of each must exceed 100 KB.
• This functionality performs exceptionally well in scenarios with unstable networks or when the file size cannot be determined prior to upload.

Industry-leading hierarchical storage

• BOS provides industry-leading Multi-Level Hierarchical Storage. Users can choose standard storage as the main storage method, or select lower-cost, longer-term storage options such as infrequent access storage, cold storage, and archive storage according to different access frequencies.
• BOS supports Lifecycle Management. Users can configure lifecycle rules to automatically convert expired data to the corresponding type without manual operation.

Comprehensive APIs and development tools

• BOS offers standard REST APIs that are compatible with any internet development toolkit.

• Based on the native REST API, BOS mainly provides the following three types of APIs:

  • Bucket operations
  • Object operations
  • ACL operations
• BOS provides SDKs in more than ten languages, including Java, Python, PHP, etc.

Fully functional management platform

• Users can conveniently operate buckets and Objects through the web management platform.
• Users can easily create and manage their own Access Key ID / Secret Access Key through the AK / SK management function in the Web management platform.
• Users can monitor real-time information such as the read-write status and occupied space of buckets through the monitoring function provided by the Web management platform.

Massive data storage

• BOS supports the storage, sharing, and utilization of all data types. It enables users to migrate their entire storage infrastructure to the cloud, leveraging BOS's scalability and pay-as-you-go features to meet growing storage demands.
• BOS supports single file storage of up to 48.8 TB. With its functionality for breakpoint uploads and downloads, it is capable of handling ultra-large files such as multimedia videos and software packages.
