Object Storage
Object Storage refers to a method of storing and managing data as objects, which are units of data that contain both the data itself and metadata describing the data. This type of storage is ideal for large-scale, unstructured data such as images, videos, and documents. Object storage systems typically store data in a flat structure, making it easier to scale and manage than traditional file systems. Additionally, object storage allows for seamless access to data over a network, making it a popular choice for cloud storage solutions.
