Object storage can be simply understood as a data pool used to store unstructured data such as pictures, audio, video, and so on. Compared with the host server, it has the characteristics of fast reading and writing speed and easy to share. Shanyan data summed up these six points here.

1. The data of the website is separated, which greatly improves the performance of the web page.

In general, it is recommended that the host server and object storage work together to store website data. The host server is mainly responsible for storing the dynamic data of the website, while the object storage is used to store the static files of the website. In order to achieve the separation of the movement and movement of the website, when users visit a website, they read data synchronously from the host server and the object storage server, which can greatly improve the performance of the web page.

2. With a separate file management interface, managing website files is as convenient as a local computer.

Whether it is Tencent Cloud, Aliyun or Shanyan, COS has separate management consoles, and Tencent Cloud and Aliyun also have special computer clients. You don't have to open the website, you can use object storage to manage your website files just like Baidu cloud disk, in addition to uploading, downloading, previewing and other common functions, you can also directly carry out image processing / media transcoding / data analysis on the object storage.

3. In essence, it is a "distributed server with built-in large-capacity hard disk". The same file can be shared across domains.

The essence of object storage is "distributed server with built-in large-capacity hard disk". Object storage has its own CPU, memory, network and disk system, and has certain intelligence. The same object storage data pool can build different bucket, which can be used to store data from different websites and do not interfere with each other. And the same file can be referenced to different websites, which can effectively reduce data redundancy.

4. There are many storage nodes, which support real-time synchronization across regions to achieve remote disaster recovery.

Suppose your data such as pictures are stored on your own server, and your data can only be protected through regular data backups. If the amount of data is large, each backup needs a lot of time and takes up a lot of disk space, which is not convenient to manage.

If your data is placed in the object-stored data pool, and associated with the site. Then the backup of static files can be handed over to object storage. You only need to back up a small number of dynamic files on the site. Save time and effort.

For example, I use object storage, and I store static files such as pictures of the website on the nearest node [Shenzhen]. However, considering the extreme circumstances, such as a sudden power outage at the Shenzhen node, all data may be lost. But if I choose Hangzhou as the second storage node before, and set the data of the [Shenzhen] node to be synchronized to the [Hangzhou] node in real time. So even if the data of the Shenzhen node is lost, my data in Hangzhou can still be used. When the power supply is restored, I will synchronize the data from the Hangzhou node back to the Shenzhen node. This is what we call remote disaster recovery.

5. Low cost, flexible and flexible resources, pay on demand

Unlike the traffic of the server, object storage is included in the cost of the server. Whether you use it or not, there are so many. Object storage can be billed based on your actual usage.

6. Save server space

Why did you choose to put this point at the end? Because now the price of the server is affordable, and there are more activities. Most webmasters no longer have the problem of insufficient server space. And the emergence of object storage is not to solve the problem of insufficient server space. But to combine the respective advantages of [block storage] and [file storage], so as to achieve efficient file reading, writing and sharing. But save server space or do not fight for the fact, so let's mention it.
