# S3-Compatible Cloud Storage

Globally distributed storage is a world-wide network of thousands of storage nodes. This modern architecture provides global performance, data integrity and redundancy that rivals any public cloud at an unbeatable value.

Like ZFS in TrueNAS, TrueCloud Backup is inherently secure with CloudSync 256-bit encryption for both data-at-rest and data-in-flight. Most importantly, encryption keys are controlled by the TrueNAS administrator and no one else.

### 70%+ Lower Cost

Reserved Capacity on TrueCloud Backup with a 12 month contract is significantly cheaper than single-region AWS S3. Store 4× more data for the same price.

### Double the Bandwidth

Leverages the aggregated bandwidth of globally distributed storage, with performance typically more than double that of AWS S3.

### 11 Nines of Durability

Extremely high durability suitable for offsite backup and long-term archival. Equivalent to storing a PetaByte for 1,000 years with \<1 object lost.

### Built-In to TrueNAS

All editions of TrueNAS have the TrueCloud Backup service built-in and are ready to be configured with a TrueCloud Backup account.

### Fast & Easy Offsite Backup

TrueNAS is great for protecting data and backups onsite. Storing important data offsite is also vital in your strategy to recover from a data disaster. Given its decentralized network, TrueCloud Backup cloud storage is [easy to configure](https://forums.truenas.com/t/enabling-the-built-in-ix-storj-service-on-truenas/4485) and delivers incredible performance for hot backups with high multi-region availability.

### Exceptional Data Security

Every object is end-to-end encrypted to ensure that only authorized users have access to the data. Data is broken into erasure-coded pieces and distributed globally where all file segments and metadata are separately encrypted so only you know what is stored. You control the encryption keys. No one can access your files or metadata—ever.

### Optimized for Media

TrueNAS is top-rated for media creation workflows, and TrueCloud Backup is perfectly designed to host large multimedia files. The distributed global network enables incredibly fast performance and allowing collaboration and sharing across studios. Achieve top-tier efficiency at an affordable price with TrueCloud Backup.

### Cost-Effective Storage Scaling

Reserved Capacity on TrueCloud Backup with a 12 month contract delivers 70%+ lower cost than large-scale clouds.

### TrueNAS as “Storj Nodes”

TrueNAS Community Edition users can allocate unused storage capacity and earn from participating as a provider to Storj cloud storage.
