What is Object Storage?

Object Storage is a file or data storage technology, where the storage structure is split across multiple hardware components. Object Storage is different from traditional storage systems because files or data are not stored intact inside folders or as blocks on a server.

Object storage divides data into separate units that are stored in a single repository. It uses metadata as identifiers to access stored data.

Large-scale, cost-effective, and highly available
DCloud Object Storage

Large-Scale Storage

Object storage from DCloud is suitable for storing large files with capacities ranging from 10 Gigabytes to 10 Terabytes.

High Availability

DCloud Object Storage is highly available and durable. Objects are replicated with 3x replication across servers so they remain accessible even if one server is offline.

Amazon S3 Protocol Support

Supports the S3 API protocol for retrieving and pushing data to object storage systems. From backups to archiving and other use cases, DCloud Object Storage supports the S3 protocol.

Maximum Data Security

All digital data stored in DCloud Object Storage is encrypted according to international standards.

Inclusive Pricing

You only pay for the volume you choose. There are no additional costs (bandwidth usage, anti-DDoS, etc.) to run your cloud server.

How Is Object Storage Used?

There are several benefits of Object Storage that you can use
to accommodate various needs.

Storage for Unstructured Data

Unstructured data such as music, media files, or text documents. Data without a fixed structure that relies on metadata (song artist, album title, etc.) is ideal for Object Storage. Popular products in this category include Netflix and Spotify, which use object storage to store their media files.

Data Archiving

Archived data for long-term storage. Customers in financial services, government, or healthcare often need to retain data for a specific period (x years). Because this data persists and is not frequently modified, object storage is a cost-effective solution for this use case.

Cloud-Native Applications

As businesses modernize application development to reduce time-to-market, developers need scalable storage without high costs. Object Storage lets applications connect directly to object storage and scale data effectively as the business grows in users and locations.

Data Analytics

Object storage is also used by analytics solutions like Splunk or Elastic that analyze large volumes of data to find patterns, unknown correlations, or other valuable insights. Object storage is designed to handle petabyte-scale data and can serve as the storage layer for large data workloads.
