Object storage is highly scalable, making it ideal for storing large volumes of unstructured data, such as multimedia files, backups, and archives.
Object storage is a cloud storage type that treats data as individual objects, each with its unique identifier and metadata. Unlike file and block storage, object storage doesn't organize data into a file hierarchy or break it into blocks; instead, it stores data and metadata together in a flat address space. Object storage is highly scalable, making it ideal for storing large volumes of unstructured data, such as multimedia files, backups, and archives. It excels at content delivery, backup, and data retention, as it offers durability and redundancy, enabling data to be stored securely and retrieved quickly. Object storage is cost-effective, and its simplicity and scalability make it a popular choice for modern cloud applications and services.
