Today, I will talk to you about the differences in the comparison of the three major cloud storage services. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following contents for you. I hope you can get something from this article.

The emergence of cloud storage services provides users with network backup services based on cloud computing, and provides users with large storage space and a lot of convenience. At present, the three popular ways of cloud storage services are object storage, block storage and file storage.

Comparison of Conceptual performance of three Cloud Storage Services

Object storage: a general term used to describe methods of solving and dealing with discrete units. Objects no longer have a hierarchical structure in a layer structure and are characterized by extended metadata. The core is to separate the data path from the control path, and to build a storage system based on object storage devices. Each object storage device has a certain intelligence and can automatically manage the data distribution on it.

Block storage: a volume in a RAID (redundant array of independent disks) set in which a controller joins a set of disk drives and then provides fixed-size RAID blocks as LUN (logical unit numbers). Block-level backup refers to physical block replication with high efficiency, strong real-time performance, short backup time, and only the modified physical blocks are backed up during incremental backup.

File storage: refers to storage on the file system, that is, the file system in the host operating system. File-level backup is time-consuming, inefficient, real-time is not strong, backup time is long, and incremental backup, a small part of the modification of a single file will not only backup the modified part, but the whole file will be backed up.

Comparison of typical Devices of three Cloud Storage Services

Block storage typical devices: disk array, hard disk, virtual hard disk, etc.

Typical devices for file storage: FTP, NFS server, SamBa, etc.

Object storage typical devices: distributed servers with built-in high-capacity hard drives, etc.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of the differences between the three cloud storage services? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
