What is object storage?

Object storage is a storage format in which data is stored in discrete units called objects. Each unit has a unique identifier or key, allowing them to be found no matter where they’re stored on a distributed system.

People also ask:

1. What is file storage?

File storage is a data storage format in which data is stored and managed as files within folders. If you’ve ever accessed files on a hard drive, your local computer, or a shared drive hosted on your company’s server, you’ve dealt with file storage. File storage systems provide readability and convenience for users.

2. What is unified fast file and object storage?

Unified fast file and object (UFFO) is a new category of storage architectured that addresses the demands of modern applications. UFFO is a storage platform that consolidates native fast file and fast object storage with an architecture that delivers simplicity, scale, and performance.
