This article shows you the difference between object storage and block storage. The content is concise and easy to understand. It will definitely make your eyes shine. I hope you can gain something through the detailed introduction of this article.

Block storage and object storage are both storage types in server devices, and the adaptation environment in actual applications is still significantly different.

block storage

Usually used in some proprietary systems, such applications require high random read and write performance and high reliability, usually equipped with Oracle/DB2 such a traditional database, the connection is usually based on FC fiber (8Gb/16Gb), take the optical fiber protocol.

If the requirements are slightly lower, there will also be Gigabit/10 Gigabit Ethernet based connections, MySQL database may use IP SAN, go iSCSI protocol.

Block storage is usually used by systems rather than users, concurrent access will not be many, often a set of storage services only one application system, such as transaction systems, billing systems. Typical industries such as finance, manufacturing, energy, telecommunications, etc.

object storage

The advantage scenario is the Internet or public network, which mainly solves the demand for massive data and massive concurrent access. Internet-based applications are the main adaptation of object storage, and basically all mature public clouds provide cloud storage products, whether domestic or foreign.

Common adaptive applications of object storage, such as network disk, media entertainment, medical PACS, meteorology, archiving, etc., have large data volume and relatively "cold data" and non-online processing application types. This kind of application has large single data and large total amount, which is suitable for mass storage and easy expansion of objects. In addition, some emerging mobile applications are also suitable.

So that's the difference between object storage and block storage. What, have you learned anything? If you want to learn more skills or enrich your knowledge reserves, please pay attention to the industry information channel.
