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.
