This article will now discuss more about its Compatibles.
As a recent development, Amazon and Eucalyptus teamed up to allow Eucalyptus to use its “API” and Eucalyptus has been compatible with AWS for quite a long time.
There are many other S3 compatibles implementations out there in the market. To name a few, Google Cloud Storage started with S3 compatible before moving into version 2 of the API; Scality and Mezeo provide S3 compatible APIs for their storage system. If you search for “S3 compatible” on the Internet, you may be finding a lot more.

Gladinet Cloud can also be white-labeled and hosted by partners, close to where the cloud storage service is. And Gladinet Cloud supports Amazon S3 Compatible services as its storage backend.
