# S3 Compatible Storages

If your storage solution is reachable from our encoder (on the public internet or within your Cloud Connect account), and provides an S3-like API, you may find that it is also supported with our [S3 Generic Input](https://developer.bitmovin.com/encoding/reference/postencodinginputsgenerics3) and [Output](https://developer.bitmovin.com/encoding/reference/postencodingoutputsgenerics3) features. For example, *Akamai Object Storage (Previously Linode)* and *Oracle Object Storage* are already supported using Generic S3 APIs.

Testing is likely to be required to validate each individual storage product.
