  • Welcome to ECS

    ECS provides a complete software-defined cloud storage platform that supports the storage, manipulation, and analysis of unstructured data on a massive scale on commodity hardware. ECS can be deployed as a turnkey storage appliance or as a software product that can be installed on a set of qualified commodity servers and disks. ECS offers all the cost advantages of commodity infrastructure with the enterprise reliability, availability, and serviceability of traditional arrays.

      • Authenticate with the ECS Management REST API

        To run ECS Management REST API commands, you must first authenticate with the API service and obtain an authentication token.

      • Upload a management certificate

        You can upload a management certificate which is used to authenticate access to management endpoints, such as the ECS Portal and the ECS Management REST API.

      • Upload a data certificate for data access endpoints

        You can upload a data certificate which is used to authenticate access for the S3, EMC Atmos, or OpenStack Swift protocols.

    • Verify installed certificates

      The object certificate and management certificate each has an ECS Management REST API GET request to retrieve the installed certificate.
