Object storage is a data storage architecture in which data is stored and managed as self-contained units called objects. Each object contains a key, data, and optional metadata. Flat, API-friendly, and highly scalable, object storage is the format of choice for public cloud storage services like Amazon S3 and on-premises solutions like Pure FlashBlade®.
File storage is a data storage format in which data is stored and managed as files within folders. In the storage world, file storage is used by direct-attached storage (DAS) and network-attached storage (NAS) systems.
The benefits of file storage include:
Unified fast file and object (UFFO) storage is a new category of data storage that consolidates two traditionally separate storage paradigms—file and object storage—into one high-performance data solution. It enables you to replace silos of data warehouses, network-attached storage (NAS) devices, and direct-attached storage (DAS) devices with a single scale-out storage solution that delivers multidimensional performance at scale. FlashBlade is the industry-leading UFFO storage platform.
While object storage has traditionally been treated as a convenient way to archive large amounts of data, the growth in cloud-native apps which use object storage as their default storage has created a new market for higher-performing object storage. Fast object storage combines the ease of access and scale-out convenience of traditional object storage with the speed and performance needed to support the demanding workloads of cloud-native applications.
In this three-part series, explore how a unified fast file and object (UFFO) storage solution delivers the scalability and performance necessary to support modern unstructured data.
No hardware, no setup, no cost—no problem. Experience a self-service instance of Pure1® to manage Pure FlashBlade™, the industry's most advanced solution delivering native scale-out file and object storage.
We work with the best organisations across all industries.
"By separating our capacity from compute, we’re able to get more out of our compute resources, which gives us the ability to ask questions at an unprecedented scale.
"Our data works as hard as our delivery drivers. It’s all about speed—the ability to ingest data, analyse it, and feed it back into actionable channels."
Product and program availability varies by region.
