This article shows you what the process of object storage is, which is concise and easy to understand, which can definitely brighten your eyes. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

A typical device for object storage is a distributed server with a built-in high-capacity hard disk. The most commonly used scheme of object storage is that multiple servers have built-in large-capacity hard disks, then install object storage software, and then use several additional services as management nodes to install object storage management software. The management node can manage other servers to provide read and write access.

Object storage overcomes the shortcomings of block storage and file storage, reads and writes quickly and facilitates sharing. A file contains attributes (the term metadata, metadata, such as the file's size, modification time, storage path, and so on), as well as content.

Object storage separates the metadata, and the control node is called metadata server (server + object storage management software), which is mainly responsible for storing the attributes of objects (mainly the information that the object's data is scattered and stored in those distributed servers), while other distributed servers responsible for storing data are called OSD, which are mainly responsible for storing the data part of the file.

When a user accesses an object, he will first visit the metadata server. The metadata server is only responsible for feedback on which OSD the object is stored in. Assuming that the feedback file An is stored in B, C and D OSD, then the user will directly visit the three OSD servers to read the data.

At this time, because there are three OSD to transmit data at the same time, the speed of transmission is accelerated. The greater the number of OSD servers, the greater the improvement in reading and writing speed. In this way, the goal of fast reading and writing is achieved.

On the other hand, object cloud storage software has a special file system, so OSD is equivalent to a file server, so there is no difficulty in file sharing, and it also solves the problem of file sharing.

Therefore, object stored procedures combine the advantages of block storage and file storage very well. Cloud disk is a persistent data storage service that provides elastic expansion, stability, reliability and low latency for elastic cloud servers, and can be used as a stand-alone hard disk.
