Working with an External S3 Object Store

A fabric manager and fabric user can import an external S3 object store into the Data Fabric UI.

NOTE
See S3 Federation in Global Namespace for information on federation of S3 resources in Data Fabric.

You can import a third-party S3 object store into the global namespace, to be able to view data from the third-party S3 object store, by using the Data Fabric UI. Data Fabric supports import of Amazon S3, GCP, VAST, Scality, WEKA, and other such S3-compliant object stores.

See Third-Party Storage Solutions for details about the third-party storage solution compatibility with HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric.

To copy data from fabrics on the global namespace to the external S3 object store, download the data to a local folder and then upload to the external S3 object store.
