Scality has created ARTESCA to solve the storage and management problems of new content-rich data workloads in a cloud-native application world. ARTESCA is a distributed object storage system built using cloud-native methods, as a set of containerized microservices in a scale-out architecture. ARTESCA services are deployed and orchestrated on Kubernetes, on Linux machine hosts.

ARTESCA provides comprehensive object storage access capabilities over the popular Amazon S3 API.

ARTESCA is designed as a lightweight but comprehensive enterprise-class object storage software solution. The lightweight aspect means that it can be deployed in small configurations, starting on a small VM or single physical machine. and it can scale-out easily one server at a time. The lightweight nature also refers to its purpose-built design as a pure object storage system only, to reduce overall complexity, improve performance, and keep the overall resource footprint as low as possible.
