The Atom · Object
The archive that answers back.
Standards-compliant S3 object storage for content libraries, archives and automation — millions of objects, open formats, on hardware you own, integrated with the media tools you already run.
Where it fits
Your content library, finally liquid.
Deep archives on tape are cheap until you need something in a hurry. Public cloud is convenient until the egress bill lands. The Atom's S3 object tier is the middle path: nearline economics, on-premises control, and content that is always seconds — not days — away from the workflow that needs it.
Because it speaks standards-compliant S3, the tools you already own — asset managers, data movers, transcoders, workflow engines — connect without adapters or custom code.
Typical object use cases
- Content archive and long-term preservation in open formats.
- MAM, PAM and DAM integration over standards-compliant S3.
- Nearline libraries for fast partial restores to the edit.
- Backup targets with versioning and protected retention.
- AI and ML pipelines reading straight from the library.
- Cloud and multi-site distribution workflows.
How it flows
Standard S3 in, open formats at rest.
Why it matters
An archive is a fifty-year decision.
Formats outlive vendors. The Atom stores your content in open formats readable by open tools for as long as you keep it — so the archive you build today is not a migration project you dread in ten years.
And if you ever leave us, the data stays where it is, in formats any competent engineer can operate. That promise is in writing.
Economics without the asterisk
- No proprietary software licence — it's open-source Ceph.
- No egress fees on your own hardware.
- Standard Dell servers bought at market prices.
- Grow from ~100 TB to multiple petabytes without migration.

Hours of content, formats, restore patterns, the systems that need to reach it — we'll design the object tier around the workflow, not the other way round.
