Enterprise-grade access and control for Scality object storage
As S3 environments scale and span multiple sites, a dedicated access layer becomes essential for maintaining availability, control, and consistency without impacting storage or applications.
F5 and Scality
Accelerate and secure S3 at scale: F5 BIG-IP with Scality RING to balance traffic, maximize availability, and add security services without changing critical applications.
Scality partners with F5 to support enterprise and service provider environments that require a robust, policy-driven S3 access layer in front of large-scale object storage. By combining Scality RING’s durable, multi-petabyte object storage with F5 BIG-IP’s application delivery capabilities, organizations gain a controlled and resilient entry point to S3 — without changing application behavior or storage architecture.
This partnership is well suited to environments with complex networking, security, or multi-site requirements, where consistency and governance at the access layer are critical.
