Object storage (also known as object-based storage [1] or blob storage) is a computer data storage approach that manages data as "blobs" or "objects", as opposed to other storage architectures like file systems, which manage data as a file hierarchy, and block storage, which manages data as blocks within sectors and tracks. [2]
Object storage, or blob storage, that manages data as "blobs" or "objects" Binary blob, or blob, a non-free object in open source software; Blob URI scheme, a URI scheme for binary data; Blob, a region of an image subject to blob detection
Block-level storage is a concept in cloud-hosted data persistence where cloud services emulate the behaviour of a traditional block device, such as a physical hard drive. [1] Storage in such services is organised as blocks. This emulates the type of behaviour seen in traditional disks or tape storage through storage virtualization. Blocks are ...
The access nodes maintain a synchronized directory of content addresses, and the corresponding storage node where each address can be found. When a new data element, or blob, is added, the device calculates a hash of the content and returns this hash as the blob's content address. [8]
Data store can refer to a broad class of storage systems including: Paper files; Simple files like a spreadsheet; File systems; Email storage systems (both server and client systems) Databases. Relational databases, based on the relational model of data; Object-oriented databases. They can save objects of an object-oriented design. NoSQL ...
In computing (specifically data transmission and data storage), a block, [1] sometimes called a physical record, is a sequence of bytes or bits, usually containing some whole number of records, having a maximum length; a block size. [2] Data thus structured are said to be blocked.
Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) is a service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that provides object storage through a web service interface. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Amazon S3 uses the same scalable storage infrastructure that Amazon.com uses to run its e-commerce network. [ 3 ]
Distributed block storage is a computer data storage architecture that the data is stored in volumes (known as blocks, a term dating back to Project Stretch [1]) across multiple physical servers, as opposed to other storage architectures like file systems which manages data as a file hierarchy, and object storage which manages data as objects.
