the problem
Hybrid object is still two storage worlds, two billing structures.
On-prem and cloud each have their own operating model. Egress fees turn DR and offsite into budget conversations. Code written for one side rarely runs on the other unchanged.
- Hybrid object means two operating models.
- Egress fees punish DR and offsite copies.
- Cloud sticker shock at petabyte scale.
- Code rewrites every time data crosses the boundary.
the joint solution
Standard S3 on both ends, no egress trap on the cloud half.
Scality on-prem and Wasabi in the cloud — both standard S3. Wasabi has flat-rate pricing and zero egress on the cloud half. The same code path reaches both back ends.
- Standard S3 on both ends; no rewrites to span them.
- Wasabi: flat-rate cloud pricing.
- Zero egress fees on the cloud half.
- Hybrid storage planned on the same S3 contract.
joint solution benefits
What hybrid object delivers.
Predictable hybrid economics.
On-prem economics on Scality, flat-rate economics on Wasabi. Spend math stays calculable month to month.
Same code path to both ends.
Applications and backup software written for one reach the other without modification.
Disaster-recovery rehearsals stay affordable.
Wasabi has no egress fees. Pulling data back from cloud doesn't trigger a budget review.
Not a one-way door.
Pull data back on-prem when economics or compliance shift. The S3 abstraction holds either way.
