Object Storage 101

Cover Image

Maintaining the integrity and security of information assets is a big issue for organisations today. Large investments are made in layering security and information management systems onto storage systems, ignoring the fact that in the majority of cases, it is the storage system itself at fault. 

The use of object storage provides a built-in mechanism for creating a platform for information management and security. As data assets are stored as full objects, rather than being broken down into blocks of changeable ones and zeros, object storage provides a means of monitoring and auditing all actions taken against a data asset in real time.

Through the use of erasure coding and a global namespace, object storage enables large scalability across a dispersed storage platform, providing high levels of data availability in a secure and easily manageable environment.
