UniVirStor Object Storage Solution
Ambedded Object Storage Solution
Ambedded Object Storage turns any Ceph cluster into an S3 and Swift-compatible object store, built on the Ceph RADOS Gateway (RGW). Applications, AI/ML pipelines, and backup software talk to it using the same S3 API they already use โ no proprietary SDK, no rewritten integrations.
It runs as pure software on any x86 or Arm64 server with standard Ethernet, is deployed and managed entirely from the UniVirStor (UVS) Manager web UI, and scales from a single RGW instance to a load-balanced, multi-tenant, multi-site object storage service โ with no vendor lock-in.
S3-Compatible Object Storage You Run and Control
Ambedded S3-compatible Object Storage gives you the same S3 API your applications already speak, running as software-defined storage on a Ceph cluster you control โ on your own servers, in your own data center.
Enterprise identity, storage tiering, and multisite replication are built in and managed from a single web console, so object storage scales with your organization instead of forcing a re-architecture later.
- ✓Pure software โ runs on any x86 / Arm64 server you already own
- ✓Self-hosted โ full control over where data physically resides
- ✓IAM, LDAP/AD, and local user identity โ pick the right model per team
- ✓Scale-out โ add nodes online as capacity and traffic grow
Why Ambedded Object Storage
S3 & Swift API Compatible
Built on the Ceph RADOS Gateway (RGW), translating standard S3 and Swift REST calls into native Ceph storage โ no proprietary SDK required.
Multiple Object Storages, One Cluster
Deploy several independent Object Storage services on a single Ceph cluster โ separate namespaces for different teams or customers.
Enterprise Identity, Three Ways
IAM users with AWS-style JSON policies, LDAP/Active Directory users for SSO, or simple local RGW users โ choose per workload.
Storage Class Tiering
Map custom storage classes to NVMe or HDD placement targets, so hot and cold data can share one bucket namespace at different cost points.
Multisite Replication & DR
Realm / zonegroup / zone replication across sites, with a secondary site promotable to master if the primary site is lost.
Built-In HA & Load Balancing
Run multiple RGW instances behind Ambedded's integrated Ingress load balancer for redundancy and throughput.
One Cluster. S3-Compatible End to End.
Clients talk standard S3/Swift to a load-balanced RGW layer, which translates requests into the native Ceph RADOS protocol โ all deployed and managed from the UniVirStor Manager web UI.

Standard API, no rewrites
Existing S3/Swift applications, SDKs, and backup tools connect without code changes.
Pure software, any server
Runs on standard x86 or Arm64 servers with Ethernet โ no proprietary hardware required.
Load-balanced by default
Multiple RGW instances behind a built-in load balancer remove any single point of entry failure.
Managed Entirely From UniVirStor Manager
Bucket Creation & Protection
- ✓Create buckets by Realm, Zonegroup, and Zone directly from the web UI
- ✓Per-bucket quotas, versioning, and five ACL levels (private to public-read-write)
- ✓Object Lock with Governance or Compliance retention for WORM-style immutability
- ✓Server-Side Encryption (SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS) applied per bucket
- ✓JSON bucket policies, with a built-in policy generator

Bucket Versioning
Keep multiple versions of an object to recover from accidental overwrites or deletion.
Object Lock (WORM)
Governance or Compliance retention blocks deletion or overwrite for a fixed period.
Erasure Coding / Replication
The underlying Ceph cluster protects objects across disks, hosts, and racks, with self-healing.
Server-Side Encryption
SSE-S3 or SSE-KMS encrypts objects at rest; traffic between cluster hosts is encrypted too.
Multisite DR Replication
Asynchronous replication to a remote zone, with manual promotion if the primary site is lost.
