Private cloud has met enterprise S3 needs and supports autonomous data center operations
Reviewed on Dec 03, 2025
Review provided by PeerSpot
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Cloudian HyperStore was a private cloud in a data center which was restricted from the internet, so I needed S3 storage and an S3 storage solution which could work autonomously in the data center.
What is most valuable?
Cloudian HyperStore offers excellent documentation and clear diagrams, and the application itself has a user-friendly interface which was beneficial for managing resources. We used some of our compute resources and storage resources for Cloudian, and it worked effectively. We made backups and established S3 connection from Kubernetes resources. We managed our problem disks, and sometimes we replaced disks, and Cloudian provided clear instructions on what to do with the replacements.
My experience with the UI involved common administrative tasks such as disk replacement, providing volume, changing volume, and providing S3 bucket.
Cloudian HyperStore impacted my organization positively because we started to use it at least eight years ago, and at that time, we did not have many choices on the market, and I do not recall a truly good enterprise solution for using S3 storage in a private data center. Cloudian HyperStore has many years of experience on the market, so it should be a strong option.
What needs improvement?
I cannot provide current feedback on needed improvements because for the last four years, I did not use Cloudian HyperStore, so my experience may be outdated regarding recent changes. Everything was excellent, and I had a truly good experience, which I can confirm for any other architects who are going to use Cloudian HyperStore.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working in my current field for four years at this place.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Cloudian HyperStore is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding Cloudian HyperStore's scalability, we had 200 physical servers with many disks inside.
How are customer service and support?
I had a good experience with customer support because we had several calls, and I can evaluate that the support interactions were of high quality.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did not switch to a different solution before Cloudian HyperStore, and I did not use any other solution in the private cloud. I had some good experience with Amazon and Google Cloud after that, but this is not a switch as I had left the company. I believe they still use Cloudian HyperStore.
What was our ROI?
I have seen a return on investment because we covered our requirements. We really needed S3 storage at an enterprise level, so we solved it.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Cloudian HyperStore, I did not evaluate other options, but I should refresh my knowledge about the current situation on the market because for the last five years, many other enterprise solutions have become available.
What other advice do I have?
I can advise others looking into using Cloudian HyperStore as a strong enterprise solution with many years of experience on the market, and I cannot compare it with other solutions for private data centers. I can compare it with cloud solutions such as S3 Amazon or Google Cloud , but I think it is different because you do not need to manage your resources with those providers. I would definitely advise Cloudian HyperStore for private clouds. I gave this product a rating of 9 out of 10.
