Overview Features Plans & Pricing FAQs SLG

The Object Storage service is a product based on the IaaS - Infrastructure as a Service - model which allows you to create dedicated spaces for storing all the data that you want. This tool provides you with a safe, reliable and flexible storage space so you can then distribute any type of file to your customers. The Object Storage system stores your data in multiple copies, on multiple disks and on multiple Servers ensuring greater security.

One of the key terms for any cloud SLG covers availability and downtime. XcellHost will use commercially reasonable efforts to make SimpliDrive available with a Monthly Uptime Percentage (defined below) of greater than 99.5% during any monthly billing cycle (the "Service Commitment"). In the event SimpliDrive does not meet the Service Commitment, the Customer will be eligible to receive a Service Credit as described below.
