Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) vs. Cloudian HyperStore

It will be a very good decision to use Alibaba Object Storage Service if you need a good OSS at a cheap price. Alibaba is the answer to it, but you can't fully rely on it because sometimes on Southeast Asia server locations it will always have a high possibility of loss (can't be accessed, cant upload/download, etc.).

I think the strong suite here is backup and recovery of data, very fast recovery times which are essential in any environment. Smaller companies who have limited budget and may not reap the tangible benefits due to smaller IT departments. Learning curve is required and with a small staff, many companies do not have the luxury of having to learn a more complex product.

I used Backblaze as Alibaba OSS backup, Backblaze is good for you that need a cheap-first OSS service. In our team's opinion, Backblaze isn't too good for our region market (Southeast Asia) but its service can be reliable. So, we choose it as a backup service for Alibaba Object Storage Service.

At the end of the day, it's about return on investment with products, ease of use in the environment, support of the product. Many of these products are very good and do exactly what they say they can do, but in today's times, companies are very strict with budgetary dollars and want the most bang for the buck. HyperStore was proven thru demonstrations that it was a cohesive fit, but again it comes down to cost.
