We ask the key questions about file, block and object storage: how they work on-premise and in the cloud, global file systems, and file and object locking.

That potentially makes data in object storage well-suited to analytics too. Object storage is also well-suited to web operations and cloud-native applications than file and block.

Object storage is vastly more scalable than traditional file system storage because it’s vastly simpler. Instead of organizing files in a directory hierarchy, object storage systems store files ...

Block storage in the cloud that is not properly backed up can result in lost data, and while object storage in the cloud is more resilient, it pays to be careful.

We have a series of Block & File scale-out Storage platforms, we have Analytics Infrastructures and we understood over the past few years that the future is object storage, especially for ...

While businesses across every industry will eventually hit the limits of traditional storage systems, the problem is particularly acute for media and entertainment companies.

Storing data in fixed chunks called "blocks," each with a unique address. A file or object can be made up of many blocks that can be stored across multiple storage drives. Block storage is used in ...

Companies have been working for years to pull together block, file, and object storage under a single umbrella, giving enterprises that are at times dealing with petabytes of data spread across ...

Improvements in network-attached storage density and performance target unstructured data workloads. Here's how a NAS server works, how it is different from a SAN, and what IT buyers want in file ...

Virtual Storage Platform One solves these complexities with a single control plane, data fabric and data plane that works across block, file, object, cloud, mainframe and software-defined storage ...
