Enterprise Cloud Object Storage
Object storage is a flexible and scalable cloud storage model for unstructured data.
What is Cloud Object Storage?
Global storage infrastructure built for developers and businesses
Web applications, websites, web hosting, and content distribution are among the internet workloads that object storage excels at managing. It makes it easier to store, examine, and draw conclusions from petabytes of unstructured data. Object storage is perfect for compliance or regulatory requirements since it provides a safe way to archive massive amounts of data and has an almost infinite capacity. It also functions as a more contemporary and effective substitute for conventional tape storage.

How Does Object Storage Work?
Cloud computing allows businesses to rent computing power and storage from providers instead of relying on on-premise servers. Cloud storage refers to storing data on a provider’s infrastructure, often located in multiple remote physical locations.
What Are The Best Use Cases for Object Storage?
Object storage is ideal for activities that generate large volumes of data, especially when frequent access isn’t required. Common examples include:
Application assets: Object storage makes it simple to store all of an application's files, documents, JavaScript, CSS, and images.
Backup and recovery: System backups are best stored on object storage (frequent backups are a best practice for ransomware recovery).
Analytics: Large amounts of data are produced by application activity and network events. In object storage, this data can be recorded for subsequent examination.
Data archiving: Object storage can hold data that is not frequently needed yet cannot yet be deleted.
Media: Photographic, audio, and video files can be rather huge, particularly if they are of good quality. Object storage works well with these kinds of files because of its scalable nature.
Data for machine learning: For machine learning algorithms to be taught efficiently, a lot of data is needed. These vast amounts of training data can be stored in object storage.

Why Do You Need Object Storage?
Object storage is perfect for handling internet workloads like web apps, websites, web hosting, and content delivery. It simplifies storing, analyzing, and extracting insights from petabytes of unstructured data. With virtually limitless capacity, object storage offers a secure solution for archiving large volumes of data, making it ideal for compliance or regulatory needs. It also serves as a more efficient and modern alternative to traditional tape storage.
Other Benefits of Object Storage:
Single-pane-of-glass access for simplified management
Compatibility with virtualized or containerized environments
More consumable, predictable, and affordable than public cloud
Improved productivity and ensured business continuity
Unmatched scalability beyond the limits of SAN or NAS storage
Lower TCO and reduced strain on primary hot and warm storage tiers
