Functions
Easy Transition to the Cloud
OBS provides full REST APIs and SDKs, with open third-party ecology.
Tools for transition to the cloud
OBS Console: enables you to upload, download, and manage data through web anytime and anywhere.
OBS Browser: enables you to access and use the service conveniently with the same swift speed as operating files over a local resource. Download OBS BrowserOffline migration
You can use Data Express Service (DES) to transfer massive data at volume to OBS through physical storage media offline. DES saves both time and money, transferring data 10 times faster than a traditional Internet connection, and at only one-fifth the comparable cost of a high speed network. Learn more

Durability and Availability
OBS provides a highly reliable data center storage and cross-data-center disaster recovery.
As the destination of public cloud data, OBS delivers outstanding object storage reliability.
Standard storage: Yearly durability of 99.999999999% and yearly availability of 99.99%.
Infrequent Access storage: Yearly durability of 99.999999999% and yearly availability of 99.9%.
Archive storage: Yearly durability of 99.999999999%.OBS employs the following reliability technologies to deliver a storage infrastructure that is durable and highly available, as well as to support OBS SLAs.
Disaster recovery within a region: With OBS, data can be stored in multiple data centers (distanced hundreds of kilometers away), ensuring protection against failures at the data center level.
Device redundancy within a data center: Data is sliced and stored to multiple storage devices, protecting against multi-node failures.
Data integrity check: OBS periodically checks storage system data integrity, and features an integrated and automatic self-healing capability.
Versioning: OBS supports multiple versions of an object, so that you can restore data quickly in case of mis-operations or application faults.
Ease-to-Manage Policies
OBS uses storage policies to optimize storage management efficiency.
OBS APIs and OBS Console are available for you to manage storage policies, and the following data management functions are supported:
Data lifecycle management: OBS provides programming and policies to set a lifecycle for objects. Therefore, expired data can be batch deleted automatically. If the versioning function is enabled, you can configure a lifecycle policy to delete outdated versions of objects.
Event notification: When operations in OBS such as uploading and deleting objects trigger preset conditions, the SMN service can push reliable, extensible, and massive notification messages to subscribers through emails and text messages over HTTP or HTTPS. This simplifies the system coupling.
Static website hosting: Bucket policies can be configured for static website hosting in OBS. A static website contains only static content (such as HTML) or client scripts.
