What is Object Storage?
Object storage is a type of data storage architecture that manages data as objects, rather than files (as in file systems) or blocks (as in block storage). It’s commonly used for storing large amounts of unstructured data like images, videos, backups, and logs.
How It Works
Each object consists of:
- Data – the actual content (e.g. a photo, document, video)
- Metadata – detailed information about the file (e.g. file type, permissions, tags)
- Unique Identifier – a key or ID that allows the object to be retrieved without needing a directory path
Key Advantages
- Virtually unlimited scalability
- Rich metadata capabilities
- Built-in data redundancy
- Cost-effective for large datasets
- Global accessibility via HTTP/HTTPS
- Ideal for cloud-native applications
Storage Type Comparison
| Feature | File Storage | Block Storage | Object Storage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structure | Hierarchical (folders/files) | Data blocks | Flat structure (objects) |
| Ideal For | File sharing, home dirs | Databases, VMs | Backups, media, logs |
| Scalability | Limited | Moderate | Very high |
| Metadata Support | Limited | Minimal | Extensive |
| Access Method | File paths | Block addresses | Unique identifiers |
