Self-hosted S3-compatible object storage.

X2 runs storage, identity, encryption integration, monitoring, and administration on infrastructure your team operates. It is intended for application, backup, data-platform, and infrastructure teams that need an S3 endpoint under their own deployment control.

Choose the deployment that matches the job

Start with the operating model. Each path then keeps the selected OS, architecture, and release pinned through the installation guide.

01

Try locally

Run X2 in a terminal for a quick functional evaluation. Data remains on the paths you choose, but a foreground process is not a production service.

Open the local quick start →
02

Install one persistent node

Install the native operating-system service on one server. This is a valid independent deployment, but it does not provide multi-node availability.

Install a single-node service →
03

Deploy a cluster

Initialize the first node, enroll additional storage servers, and publish one load-balanced client endpoint.

Plan a multi-node cluster →

A focused storage platform, with clear service boundaries

Use the capability guide for operation-level details and limitations; do not infer complete AWS service parity from the S3-compatible endpoint.

Storage API

S3 objects and directory buckets

Multipart upload, versioning, Object Lock, lifecycle, replication, and S3 Express directory-bucket operations where documented.

Storage capabilities →
Security

IAM, STS, TLS, and external key management

Integrated identities and temporary credentials with provider-specific encryption configuration for every node.

Identity and encryption →
Data services

Iceberg and Delta Sharing

An Iceberg REST Catalog and a separate governed Delta Sharing surface for analytical data workflows.

Data-service boundaries →
AI access

Vector workflows and MCP

Vector-oriented data features and governed MCP tools, kept distinct from S3 Express storage semantics.
