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]
Amazon EBS (elastic block store) is an example of a cloud block store. [2] Cloud block-level storage will usually offer facilities such as replication for reliability, or backup services. [3] Block-level storage is in contrast to an object store or 'bucket store', such as Amazon S3 (simple storage service), or to a database. These operate at a ...
Ceph (pronounced / ˈ s ɛ f /) is a free and open-source software-defined storage platform that provides object storage, [7] block storage, and file storage built on a common distributed cluster foundation. Ceph provides distributed operation without a single point of failure and scalability to the exabyte level.
Single-instance storage is a simple variant of data deduplication. While data deduplication may work at a segment or sub-block level, single instance storage works at the object level, eliminating redundant copies of objects such as entire files or email messages. [12]
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 ...
A storage area network (SAN) or storage network is a computer network which provides access to consolidated, block-level data storage. SANs are primarily used to access data storage devices, such as disk arrays and tape libraries from servers so that the devices appear to the operating system as direct-attached storage .
DBMSes often use their own block I/O for improved performance and recoverability as compared to layering the DBMS on top of a file system. On Linux the default block size for most file systems is 4096 bytes. The stat command part of GNU Core Utilities can be used to check the block size. In Rust a block can be read with the read_exact method. [6]
