  2. Block-level storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block-level_storage

    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 ...

  3. Object storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_storage

    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]

  4. Distributed block storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_block_storage

    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.

  5. Block (data storage) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_(data_storage)

    In computing (specifically data transmission and data storage), a block, [1] sometimes called a physical record, is a sequence of bytes or bits, usually containing some whole number of records, having a maximum length; a block size. [2] Data thus structured are said to be blocked.

  6. Slab allocation - Wikipedia

    A cache is a storage for a specific type of object, such as semaphores, process descriptors, file objects, etc. Slab: slab represents a contiguous piece of memory, usually made of several virtually contiguous pages. The slab is the actual container of data associated with objects of the specific kind of the containing cache.

  7. Object copying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_copying

    The following presents examples for one of the most widely used object-oriented languages, Java, which should cover nearly every way that an object-oriented language can treat this problem. Unlike in C++, objects in Java are always accessed indirectly through references. Objects are never created implicitly but instead are always passed or ...

  8. Amazon Elastic Block Store - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Elastic_Block_Store

    Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides raw block-level storage that can be attached to Amazon EC2 instances and is used by Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS). [1] It is one of the two block-storage options offered by AWS, with the other being the EC2 Instance Store. [2] Amazon EBS provides a range of options for storage performance and ...

    In software development, an object is an entity that has state, behavior, and identity. [ 1 ] : 78 An object can model some part of reality or can be an invention of the design process whose collaborations with other such objects serve as the mechanisms that provide some higher-level behavior.
