Cloudian review

Cloudian lists Zero egress fees, so pulls, syncs and data delivery out of the platform do not carry a transfer charge. That matters most for archive and backup workloads, where the same data leaves repeatedly over its life. The saving grows with how often you read.

Yes, Cloudian is S3-compatible, so existing buckets, keys and SDK calls can point at it with configuration changes rather than rewrites. The listed storage types are object, which keeps the scope clear: object storage, with nothing else bundled in.

Cloudian prices by quote, so the number you start on comes from the deal rather than a rate card. For context, across the object storage options compared here the median entry price is €5.19, with a middle band of €3.07 to €11.52.

Storage is object, and the API surface is S3-compatible, so a plan covers buckets, keys and standard object operations. The part that shapes your bill is transfer: Zero egress fees means reads out of the platform are not billed, so usage growth shows up in capacity rather than in traffic.

Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so you can reach the team by phone, by email or through a help centre. Phone and email cover anything that needs a person to answer, and the help centre is there for the repeat lookups. That mix suits teams running production workloads rather than experiments.

The company is Cloudian, Inc., founded in 2011 and headquartered in the US. That tells you which entity you deal with and which jurisdiction applies. Teams outside the country should settle where their data sits before they commit to a long term.

Cloudian's Zero egress fees is the broadest of the three, since it carries no cap. SberCloud pairs a free tier with 10 TB of outgoing traffic per month, and Aruba includes 40 TB per month with the entry package with its entry package. Vultr bundles outbound and inbound data transfer into its object storage as well.
