Seagate Lyve Cloud is S3-compatible cloud object storage for backups, archives and large data sets. You pay for the capacity you store, with no egress or API fees, so getting your data back does not come with surprise charges.
Fortuna Data supplies Lyve Cloud to UK organisations and helps you plan, migrate and connect it to your backup and archive software.
Lyve Cloud is object storage from Seagate. Data is stored as objects in buckets and accessed using the S3 API, the same interface used by most modern backup, archive and cloud applications.
Because it is S3-compatible, Lyve Cloud works as a target for hybrid and multi-cloud setups and can sit alongside your on-premises storage.
Seagate runs Lyve Cloud from data centres in multiple regions, including London, so UK organisations can keep data in the UK.
