Planetek was seeking a secure, sovereign platform for the backup and long-term archiving of satellite data — capable of supporting the full operational cycle, from data collection and transformation to sharing. The company also required a scalable, multi-site infrastructure suited to managing large-scale space projects distributed across multiple sites.
Over the years, Planetek has evaluated various traditional on-premises object storage systems. While these solutions ensured control, they came with limitations in terms of cost, inflexibility, and operational complexity — often requiring significant IT resources. Given the current geopolitical landscape, public cloud was not an option due to concerns over data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and economic constraints.
With Cubbit’s DS3 Composer, Planetek’s customers will be able to benefit from a flexible, geo-distributed cloud object storage platform with full national data sovereignty and no technological lock-in. The initial capacity is 3.5 petabytes, with plans to expand to 5 petabytes in the coming years. Data will be securely stored within the national territory and made globally accessible whenever required.
Cubbit develops cloud storage solutions that ensure maximum resilience, sovereignty, and cost efficiency. Data is encrypted, fragmented, and distributed across multiple network nodes: never exposed in full and always accessible.
