Most S3 gateways lock your data behind a proprietary interface. VersityGW doesn't.
Objects stored as plain files. Paths you can browse with ls. Backups you can run with rsync. No gateway required.

"I just want simple S3." A dev found Versity S3 Gateway after trying overly complex self-hosted options. It maps S3 objects directly to filesystem paths — no proprietary formats, no hidden dependencies. Simple S3 without losing control.

Versity Software will attend Storage Technology 2026, hosted by DLR June 15–17, 2026 at Gut Ulrichshusen, Tressow, Germany. Nate Schumann will be onsite. Let’s connect. #HPC #DataStorage
Content libraries don’t stop growing. ScoutAM tiers data across disk, tape & cloud automatically — tape TCO as low as $5–8/TB/year, up to 40 GB/s throughput, no vendor lock-in. Fast when you need it. Affordable when you don’t

Versity S3 Gateway continues to gain momentum—driven by growing adoption and real-world demand for flexible storage architectures. The shift is clear: organizations aren’t replacing systems—they’re integrating them intelligently.

We’re attending MSST 2026 in Santa Clara, June 1–3. Meghan will speak on scalable storage & modern data architectures. Let’s connect onsite! #MSST2026 #Versity
Archival choices last decades. S3-to-tape gateways make tape simple. But simple doesn't mean open. Many S3-to-tape gateways keep the catalog and metadata in a closed system, tying your archive to one vendor. Versity’s approach is different by design.

If your tape archive can only be read by the appliance that wrote it, is it really open storage? Storage lock-in is a hidden risk in data. Build hardware-agnostic architecture so your data outlives vendors. #DataManagement #Storage #EnterpriseIT
The new rack-modular tape libraries are impressive. 40–60 PB per rack. Datacenter-ready. But the bundled S3 gateway could bind your data to a single vendor for the life of your archive. The library and gateway are separate decisions. Treat them that way. www.versity.com/s3-to-tape-g...
A proprietary S3-to-tape gateway doesn’t just manage your archive — it controls access to it. Your data can only be read through that vendor’s system. Understand the architecture before you commit.

S3-to-tape gateways seem simple, but the architecture hides real tradeoffs in metadata, performance, and long-term access. A deep dive into what organizations must understand before deploying.

We're live at #SC25! Our Whisper Suite is now open, & we’re welcoming customers, partners, & friends across the #HPC community. If you’re at the show and want a deeper look at our exascale deployments or what’s next for ScoutAM, Versity Gateway, and RapidFS, we’d love to connect!
At #OSSummit Europe, Versity’s Ric Wheeler shared how rpdfs, the first unified, open-source NVMe parallel filesystem, brings AI-ready performance and 3-tier awareness (NVMe, object, tape). Watch his talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpXw...
That’s a wrap at SDC! 🎉 Versity joined the SNIA Cloud Object Storage Plugfest, with Ben McClelland & Chao Wang collaborating with Dell, Google, IBM, Microsoft, NetApp, VAST Data & more to advance S3 compatibility. Learn more about our open-source S3 Gateway: www.versity.com/products/ver...
LTO tape shipments reached 176.5 EB in 2024, up 15.4% from last year. This is the 4th year in a row of growth.
With more AI and unstructured data, tape is becoming key for secure and efficient long-term storage.
The market is worth $6.37B now and could hit $10.3B by 2029.
From satellite imagery to classified archives, agencies need secure, scalable data solutions. Versity delivers high-performance archiving with full control and compliance.
