Today, I will talk to you about the advantages of object storage, which may not be well understood by many people. in order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following for you. I hope you can gain something according to this article.

Objects contain data, and there is no longer a hierarchical structure in a hierarchical structure. Each object is at the same level of a flat address space called a storage pool.

Objects are characterized by extended metadata. Each object is assigned a unique identifier, allowing a server or end user to retrieve the object without knowing the physical address of the data.

Remote access

Object storage is born for cloud computing, storage devices are in the data center, users are everywhere, and must be accessed through the Internet. The latency between traditional block storage and the client is very small, so it is very close to each other by using cable direct connection or dedicated low-latency network connection. File storage relaxes the delay requirement.

Huge number of users

Users of cloud computing companies should be able to authorize each other. For example, Xiaohong authorizes her video to Xiaojun, and the storage system should ensure that other users cannot see it, otherwise privacy will be disclosed. Traditional file storage also has the function of multi-tenancy, but it supports a small number of users and cannot share the permissions of a file with several independent users.

Unlimited expansion

A large number of users naturally bring huge amounts of data, cloud computing companies will not purchase a large number of equipment at once, but always continue to expand with the growth of data. Unlimited expansion, the corresponding number of files supported should also be unlimited.

Cost reduction

Traditional storage basically uses customized hardware, the data value density of banks, telecom operators and other units is high, while the value density of data stored in the cloud (videos, photos, etc.) is low, for example, video surveillance data is useless when nothing happens. Therefore, the cost of object storage is as low as possible.

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