What is Object Storage?
Object Storage is a file or data storage technology, where the storage structure is split across multiple hardware components. Object Storage is different from traditional storage systems because files or data are not stored intact inside folders or as blocks on a server.
Object storage divides data into separate units that are stored in a single repository. It uses metadata as identifiers to access stored data.
Unstructured data such as music, media files, or text documents. Data without a fixed structure that relies on metadata (song artist, album title, etc.) is ideal for Object Storage. Popular products in this category include Netflix and Spotify, which use object storage to store their media files.
Archived data for long-term storage. Customers in financial services, government, or healthcare often need to retain data for a specific period (x years). Because this data persists and is not frequently modified, object storage is a cost-effective solution for this use case.
As businesses modernize application development to reduce time-to-market, developers need scalable storage without high costs. Object Storage lets applications connect directly to object storage and scale data effectively as the business grows in users and locations.
Object storage is also used by analytics solutions like Splunk or Elastic that analyze large volumes of data to find patterns, unknown correlations, or other valuable insights. Object storage is designed to handle petabyte-scale data and can serve as the storage layer for large data workloads.
