S3-compatible storage with Hivenet

Object storage without surprise egress bills.

Store datasets, backups, media, archives, application data, and AI pipeline files with S3-compatible tools and clearer pricing. Hivenet S3 gives teams object storage with free egress, familiar APIs, and regional deployment paths on Policloud-backed infrastructure.

From €6/TB/month

Free egress

S3-compatible APIs

boto3

aws-cli

rclone

aws-sdk

Migration support for business customers

One storage price. No egress penalty.

Object storage costs should be easy to forecast. Hivenet S3 is built for teams that move data often and need storage costs they can budget before the invoice arrives.

Storage

From €6/TB/month

Store business data, backups, datasets, media, and application files with straightforward per-terabyte pricing.

Egress

Free

Move data out without a separate egress charge.

Tooling

S3-compatible

Use the tools your team already knows: boto3, aws-cli, rclone, and aws-sdk.

Migration support

Available

Get help testing your workload, planning migration, and validating fit before moving larger storage volumes.

Request access

Storage bills should be predictable before they arrive.

Object storage can look simple until egress, request fees, retrieval costs, minimum retention rules, and region transfers appear on the bill. Hivenet S3 gives teams a clearer storage path with standard tools and fewer pricing dimensions to manage.

Egress-sensitive workloads

Backups, archives, datasets, and media pipelines often need to move data back out. Free egress makes that cost easier to plan.

Familiar S3 workflows

Keep the S3-compatible tools your team already uses while running storage on Policloud-backed infrastructure.

Simple onboarding

Generate credentials, copy your endpoint, and point existing tools such as rclone, boto3, or aws-cli at Hivenet.

Regional control for business data

Keep object storage aligned with the region and infrastructure path your business can explain.

Built for data that needs to stay accessible.

Backups and archives

Store backup sets, application archives, and recovery data where egress costs do not punish restoration or migration.

AI datasets and pipelines

Store datasets, model inputs, generated outputs, and pipeline artifacts close to the workloads that use them.

Media and creative archives

Store video, images, design assets, and production files with predictable storage economics.

Application object storage

Use S3-compatible APIs for application files, logs, exports, and other object storage patterns.

Research and technical data

Store scientific, simulation, and analysis datasets that need standard access and clear cost planning.

Works with the S3 tools your team already uses.

Point your existing S3-compatible tools at the Hivenet endpoint and keep familiar workflows for backups, datasets, media, application data, and AI pipelines.

boto3

aws-cli

rclone

aws-sdk

S3-compatible APIs

Core object workflows

Create buckets, upload objects, retrieve files, list data, and delete what you no longer need.

Credential-based access

Generate access keys and connect through standard S3-compatible configuration.

Built for migration tests

Use your existing tools and real access patterns to check fit before moving larger storage volumes.

# choose S3-compatible provider
# add Hivenet endpoint, access key, secret key, and region

Designed for business data that needs a clear storage path.

Hivenet S3 is built for teams that need object storage they can explain to engineering, procurement, customers, and internal stakeholders. The product combines familiar S3 workflows with a trusted infrastructure path and regional deployment options.

Business object storage

Hivenet S3 is built for datasets, backups, archives, media, application data, and AI pipeline files.

Region-aware deployment

Keep storage aligned with the selected region where available and appropriate for the workload.

Standard access model

Use credentials and standard S3-compatible configuration instead of a proprietary storage workflow.

Separate from consumer storage

Hivenet S3 is separate from Store with Hivenet and Send with Hivenet, which are consumer file-storage and file-transfer products.

Enterprise-grade storage infrastructure for business workloads.

Hivenet S3 runs on Policloud-backed infrastructure designed for teams that need reliable access, predictable pricing, and regional control. The value is not capacity as a commodity. The value is a trusted storage path that fits the workload.

Policloud logotype

Policloud-backed infrastructure

Hivenet S3 uses the wider Hivenet and Policloud infrastructure path for business object storage workloads.

Regional placement

Data is kept in the selected region where supported, with available regions confirmed during setup.

Standard operational interface

Use standard tools and credentials rather than proprietary storage workflows.

Built for workload tests

Validate your storage footprint, egress pattern, tools, and region requirements before moving larger volumes.

See how Hivenet works

Store and send files without an object-storage setup.

Hivenet S3 is built for developers and business storage workloads. If you need simple cloud storage, photo backup, or large file transfer, Store with Hivenet and Send with Hivenet are the easier product paths.

Store with Hivenet

Cloud storage and photo backup.

Cloud storage and photo backup for personal files, everyday folders, and smaller teams that want a simple way to store and access files across devices.

10GB free

Photo backup

Online-only files

No AI training on your data

Send with Hivenet

Large file transfer by link.

Large file transfer for one-off delivery, client handoffs, and sending files without setting up object storage.

No recipient account needed

Sovereign storage without a reseller relationship.

Hivenet S3 is designed for developers and SMBs that want S3-compatible storage with practical sovereignty: regional placement, a trusted infrastructure path, standard tools, and fewer proprietary dead ends.

EU data residency where selected

Keep data in the selected region, including EU/France where available.

Runs on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure

Hivenet S3 runs on Policloud infrastructure with ISO 27001 certification.

GDPR-aligned storage path

Standard tools and exit path

Work with familiar tools such as boto3, aws-cli, rclone, and aws-sdk, so moving data remains practical when needs change.

Test with your workload.

Object storage performance depends on file size, access pattern, tooling, region, and concurrency. Hivenet can help you test against the storage behavior your team actually uses.

TCO proof

51% reduction

Proof-of-concept testing showed a 51% total cost reduction against AWS-equivalent storage economics.

Performance proof

AWS-comparable

Proof-of-concept testing showed performance close to AWS across upload, copy, and download workflows.

Migration fit

Test with your tools

Validate your storage footprint, egress pattern, and tooling before moving larger volumes.

Talk through a storage test

Storage that makes efficiency visible.

Hivenet S3 is built on infrastructure designed to use capacity efficiently and reduce unnecessary centralization. For teams with ESG requirements, Hivenet can provide sustainability context alongside workload and infrastructure data.

Lower-carbon storage design

Hivenet's distributed model is designed to reduce the infrastructure waste of centralized storage.

Zero water cooling

No dedicated water-cooling infrastructure is needed for the distributed model described in Hivenet's sustainability materials.

Verifiable infrastructure data

Use concrete infrastructure data for ESG reporting where available.

See sustainability methodology

Start with a real storage workload.

Hivenet S3 is a strong fit for teams that already know what they need to store, how much data moves out, which tools they use, and which region matters.
