Object Storage Protocols

Object storage protocols are methods that enable computers and servers to store, retrieve, and manage data as discrete units called objects, each with unique identifiers and metadata. Unlike traditional file storage, object storage is scalable and flexible, ideal for cloud environments. Protocols like S3 (Simple Storage Service) allow users to interact with data seamlessly across different systems, ensuring data is easily accessible, organized, and secure. These protocols facilitate efficient management of large-scale data such as multimedia files, backups, and big data analytics, supporting modern cloud-based applications and services.
