Q: | How does Lyve Cloud manage data integrity and protect against data corruption? |
A: | Lyve Cloud maintains data integrity as a core mission. At the physical layer, Lyve Cloud addresses data integrity by using Seagate’s enterprise-class hard disks and cloud-scale data durability and self-healing technologies. The erasure coding algorithm ensures 11 x 9’s of data durability, and the self-healing technology can be configured to protect against silent data corruption or bit rot by performing an integrity check of all objects within a bucket at least once a year. |
Q: | Does Lyve Cloud guarantee permanent deletion of data? |
A: | To permanently delete data, client applications should use S3 API calls to delete all objects and buckets that the application creates. |
Q: | Does Lyve Cloud support multipart uploads? |
A: | Lyve Cloud supports multipart uploads where the object part or chunk can range from 5 MB to 5 GB, with a maximum number of 10,000 parts per an object. This enables the efficient upload of large files and recovery from transmission errors. |
Q: | What level of uptime does Lyve Cloud support? |
A: | Lyve Cloud architecture implements redundancy at the hardware and software stack. All critical software components are designed to tolerate multiple failures. Lyve Cloud makes all reasonable efforts to maintain monthly uptime of 99.9% with applicable service credits. |
Q: | Are there a minimum and maximum sizes for stored objects? |
A: | There is no minimum object size, and the maximum object size for a single PUT operation is 5 TB. Lyve Cloud recommends using multipart uploads for files larger than 100 MB. |

Q: | Does Lyve Cloud support management and data access auditing? |
A: | After enabling the Audit Log feature, Lyve Cloud keeps an audit log of all user access to your Lyve Cloud console and all client application’s S3 operations. Users can designate a bucket to receive these audit logs from Lyve Cloud. |
Q: | Can I connect Lyve Cloud with third-party tools? |
A: | Yes. You can connect to Lyve Cloud using either CyberDuck, Rclone, or any S3 browser. Using these tools, create folders in buckets or upload files. NoteConsult your organization's policies and the EULA policies of the software before downloading 3rd party applications. To connect to Lyve Cloud with third-party tools, see Connecting S3 clients. |
Q: | Which operating systems environments are supported by the Lyve Cloud console? |

Q: | Does Lyve Cloud support strong consistency? |
A: | The Lyve Cloud S3 platform provides strong read-after-write consistency. This means that all GET, PUT, and LIST operations in S3 are consistent, ensuring that what you write is exactly what you will read, and that the results of a LIST operation will be a precise representation of the contents in the bucket. This feature is particularly useful for applications such as data lakes. |
