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 qualified commodity servers and disks. ECS offers all the cost advantages of commodity infrastructure with the enterprise reliability, availability, and serviceability of traditional arrays.
