Object Storage Roundup: Durability Claims Put to the Test

Eleven nines is easy to print on a pricing page. We flooded ten object stores with 40TB of check-summed data, deleted regions on purpose, and verified what actually came back.

The competitive dynamics are shifting in ways that were hard to imagine two years ago. Regional players now ship features faster than the hyperscalers, and enterprise buyers have noticed — renewal conversations look different this year.

CloudCompass will track the rollout and update our Bergwerk Cloud profile as verified details land. Readers can compare the affected product category side by side in our directory, where pricing notes and feature lists are refreshed monthly.
