How Does Object Storage Work?
Easy-to-Manage Storage for Unstructured Data
Object storage is built for scale, adapting to the storage needs of modern computing. As such, it helps you overcome the management complexity and data hierarchy limitations of file and block storage models. It is a flat file space that stores data as objects, adding metadata and unique identifiers to describe and locate them.
Structure and Function
An object comprises the file, its ID, metadata, and attributes. Metadata contains file information, making it possible to search and index the object with increased performance. Attributes contain instructions for reading, writing, and deletion privileges.
Storage and Buckets
Objects are stored in buckets that can scale to hold billions of similar or related objects. The stored objects are further replicated to other buckets on physically separated devices in the cloud for additional redundancy and enhanced data integrity and security.
API Integration
The user interacts with the buckets via the industry-standard S3 API, working out of the box with most modern applications. The fact that the app is the storage client expands the ecosystem beyond a single OS and makes data more easily distributed across multiple platforms and storage devices.
Data Encryption
The data written to the Object Storage is SSL-encrypted in transit and can be further encrypted at rest. For additional resilience, you can make your data immutable with the object lock function, replicate it across multiple nodes, or segment it with erasure coding for enterprise-level availability.
Why Do You Need Object Storage?
Object Storage Use Cases
Object Storage caters to the needs of Internet workloads such as web apps, websites, web hosting, or content delivery, making it easy to store, analyze, and extract insights from petabytes of unstructured data. With effectively limitless capacity, it is a secure storage tier for archiving volumes of growing data for compliance or regulatory purposes and a better alternative to traditional tape storage.
The S3 API enables rapid search, easy scaling, and instant data access across hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments. This allows you to span your storage pool globally, supporting the needs of your cloud-native applications.
Media and Entertainment
Use object storage to store, retrieve, and reuse high volumes of image, graphic, video, or audio files and make them accessible to your users anywhere in the world at lightning speed. Easily scale as your digital content grows and let your team leverage metadata for fast queries and faster postproduction.
Content Distribution and File Sharing
Take the load off your servers by moving your app’s downloadable assets such as media, software, video, or audio files to Object Storage. Support collaboration between geo-distributed teams with information access and privilege regulation, noting each modification in the metadata.
Big Data Analytics
Store and access massive datasets and let your ML or AI apps take full advantage of unmatched Object Storage scalability, robust APIs, and rich metadata. Collect global IoT data efficiently and cost-effectively in a single data pool, extracting value from it or using it to train your machine learning platform.
Sensitive Data Archiving
Object Storage is ideal for businesses that require reliable elastic storage to ensure compliance with long-term data retention policies and maintain low costs of these operations. Protect your medical scan records, video surveillance data, or other sensitive write-once-read-many assets.
Data Protection
Store backups of all kinds of immutable data securely and use Object Storage as a perfect way of achieving the 3-2-1 backup rule or implementing an affordable DR solution. Automated data replication lets you restore assets quickly, keeping your business operational in case a disaster strikes.
Static Website Hosting
Enhance the speed and availability of your static web pages with minimum investments and no software upgrades, web server configuration, security upkeep, or other maintenance tasks. Object storage provides an inexpensive way to host static web assets such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files.
Enable Immutability to Ensure Your Backups Are Tamper-Proof
Everbex’s Veeam-compatible S3 cloud object storage to create a virtual air gap and bulletproof your critical backup data against ever-growing ransomware threats. Backups are essential for ensuring business continuity, which makes them increasingly attractive ransomware targets. Cybercriminals today rely on encrypting and deleting backup data first to cripple organizations’ ability to recover. This way, they make paying the ransom the only choice.
The Object Lock data immutability feature available in Veeam Backup & Replication V10 and above enables companies to prohibit any changes to the stored data for a specified amount of time. Backups are protected against accidental and malicious modifications to ensure their availability in case of a disaster. Even if cybercriminals manage to gain access to your backups, they won’t be able to delete or modify them as the Object Lock feature would keep them protected in an immutable state.
