Obstor vs Resilio Active Everywhere

Obstor is an Apache 2.0-licensed, S3-compatible object storage server with built-in SFTP support. It works with S3 SDKs, command-line tools, and applications without code changes. In distributed deployments, objects are sharded and replicated across connected nodes, with each object kept in at least two global locations. Its native SFTP server stores uploaded files as S3 objects. Data features include SSE-C and SSE-S3 server-side encryption with KMS integration, configurable erasure coding for drive and node failures, and object versioning with lifecycle policies. IAM controls use users, groups, policies, and service accounts with S3 and AWS IAM policy syntax. Event notifications can be sent to Kafka, NATS, AMQP, Redis, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and webhooks. Installation options include a single binary, Docker, a Kubernetes Helm chart, or building from source. Standalone instructions cover macOS, GNU/Linux, and 64-bit Windows. Standalone servers are intended for development and evaluation; versioning, object locking, and bucket replication require distributed deployment with erasure coding.

Resilio Active Everywhere gives organizations access to file data across data centers, cloud storage, and edge networks. It uses peer-to-peer synchronization and supports continuous replication, multi-site replication, and failover orchestration in hybrid deployments. File streaming retrieves requested portions of large files on demand, while distributed file locking enforces exclusive access among agents in a job and supports offline use. The hybrid cloud offering connects on-premises storage with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. One management console makes file data available through NFS, SMB, and Amazon S3 protocols. A REST API supports job automation, agent control, and workflow integration. Resilio says transfers can reach up to ten times the speed of conventional replication software and describes end-to-end AES-256 encryption, perfect forward secrecy, and routing around network or node failures. Agents are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, NAS devices, and Android. Pricing is on request and based on the number of devices or endpoints, not data volume or transfer usage; a free trial is available.
