Object Storage Systems

Object storage systems are a way to manage and store data in a highly scalable and accessible manner, commonly used for cloud storage. Unlike traditional file systems that organize data in a hierarchy, object storage uses a flat structure where each piece of data (an object) is stored with its own unique identifier and metadata. This makes it easy to retrieve and manage large amounts of unstructured data such as images, videos, and backups. Object storage is designed for durability, performance, and efficiency, making it ideal for applications that require massive data storage, like online services and big data analytics.
