## About Zata

Zata is S3-compatible object storage built for businesses in India. These docs take you step by step through signing up, creating buckets, working with files, giving your team access, connecting your tools and moving your data in, with examples you can copy.

#### 3 copies of every file

Zata stores your data 3 times, across several zones, so it stays safe and available if a disk or server fails.

#### Your data stays in India

Your buckets are stored in Indore or Mumbai, the region you choose when you create them.
