The Ceph Object Storage

Object storage is a type of data storage where each data unit is stored as a discrete unit called an object such as pdf, audio, image, or video files. These objects can be any type and size of data. All objects are stored in the object storage with flat namespace instead of the folder with hierarchical architecture.
Compare to the file type and block type storage, the object storage provides much more comprehensive metadata for describing objects. Metadata helps you to understand and analyze large files without having to deal directly with the contents in the file.

Benefits of object storage
  • Easier Access: Object storage is driven by metadata, and with this level of classification for each data, you can quickly sort and search your files.
  • Unlimited Storage: Object storage is scalable. There is no limitation on its size.
  • Reduce Costs: Due to the scale-out nature of object storage, the cost of storing data is lower.
  • Resource Optimization: Because of object storage doesn't have the file hierarchy, and its metadata is fully customizable. There are far fewer hardware restrictions compared to file or block storage.
Object storage use cases
    There are multiple use cases for object storage, including:
  • Rich Media: Utilize the industry-leading solutions for managing unstructured data and reduce the cost of global rich media distribution.
  • Manage distributed content: Optimize data value throughout the lifecycle and provide competitive storage services.
  • Internet of Things (IoT): Efficiently manage machine-to-machine data, support artificial intelligence and analytics, and reduce the cost and time of the design process.
Object Storage Metadata

For a practical example of metadata, we can have a look at how hospitals store and process X-ray images of patients. Using the file type storage to save the X-ray image can only store limited data elements associated with it, such as the date of creation, owner, location, and size of the area. Using object storage to save an X-ray image can have much more metadata information.
Metadata may include the patient's name, date of birth, details of the injury, which area of the body was X-rayed, and those tags the file type image has. The metadata makes it very useful for doctors to extract relevant information from the images.
