IDrive Compute News
Providers share news about their company, their products, their features and their promotions on VPSBenchmarks. See all announcements on the Provider News page.
This is the most recent news from IDrive Compute.
IDrive Backup has introduced IDrive® e2, an S3 compatible cloud object storage solution that supports storing data in the cloud, off-site disaster recovery, an active and accessible data archive, and long term storage.
IDrive® e2 is a scalable and durable cloud-object storage platform that stores petabytes of data on pay-per-use pricing. It is suitable for hosting applications, media workflow, gaming assets, e-commerce resources, and other large volumes of data.
With a straightforward, tierless pricing approach, IDrive® e2 is the most affordable object storage solution available, with the first 10GB free and pricing starting at $0.004/GB/month. The service costs 80% less than AWS S3 with no ingress/egress fees, as well as being one of the few solutions available that does not charge an extra fee for downloading data.
IDrive® e2 enables users to retrieve their data based on their convenience using associated access and a secret key. Data can be accessed via the IDrive® e2 web console or a third-party tool such as MSP360, Veeam, Cyberduck, Cloudflare, Fastly, Iconik, Arq, QNAP, Synology, Reclone.org, Arcserve, Duplicati, WinSCP, and S3 Browser.
More features of IDrive® e2 include:
Ransomware protection - protect against data loss from malware attacks with file lock, versioning, and data retention
Object lock - restricts the modification or deletion of an object, helping to secure the files present in the buckets from any malware or cyber threats
Bucket versioning - every modification made to the objects in the bucket will be automatically saved as a new copy or version of the object allowing users to restore older versions of an object
Centralized access - access, manage, and restore data from anywhere via an easy to navigate web-based console
Security and Privacy - data is stored in data centers with physical and biometric security, all transfers are secured with TLS protocol.
