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 →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.
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 →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.
