# Data resiliency for everyone
|
||
|
||
Garage is an **open-source** distributed **storage service** you can **self-host** to fullfill many needs:

|
||
|
||
Garage implements the **[Amazon S3 API](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/Welcome.html)** and thus is already **compatible** with many applications:

|
||
Garage provides **data resiliency** by **replicating** data 3x over **distant** servers:

## Keeping requirements low
|
||
|
||
We worked hard to keep requirements as low as possible as we target the largest possible public.
|
||
|
||
* **CPU:** any x86\_64 CPU from the last 10 years, ARMv7 or ARMv8.
|
||
* **RAM:** 1GB
|
||
* **Disk Space:** at least 16GB
|
||
* **Network:** 200ms or less, 50 Mbps or more
|
||
* **Heterogeneous hardware:** build a cluster with whatever second-hand machines are available
|
||
|
||
*For the network, as we do not use consensus algorithms like Paxos or Raft, Garage is not as latency sensitive.*
|
||
*Thanks to Rust and its zero-cost abstractions, we keep CPU and memory low.*
