How Does Object Storage Work?

Object storage is built for scale, adapting to the storage needs of modern computing. As such, it helps you overcome the management complexity and data hierarchy limitations of file and block storage models. It is a flat file space that stores data as objects, adding metadata and unique identifiers to describe and locate them.

How Does Object Storage Work

An object comprises of the file, its ID, metadata, and attributes. Metadata contains file information, making it possible to search and index the object with increased performance. Attributes contain instructions for reading, writing, and deletion privileges.

How Does Object Storage Work 2

Objects are stored in buckets that can scale to hold billions of similar or related objects. The stored objects are further replicated to other buckets on physically separated devices in the cloud for additional redundancy and enhanced data integrity and security.

How Does Object Storage Work 3

The user interacts with the buckets via the industry-standard S3 API, working out of the box with most modern applications. The fact that the app is the storage client expands the ecosystem beyond a single OS and makes data more easily distributed across multiple platforms, and storage devices.

How Does Object Storage Work 4

The data written to the Object Storage is SSL-encrypted in transit and can be further encrypted at rest. For additional resilience, you can make your data immutable with the object lock function, replicate it across multiple nodes, or segment it with erasure coding for enterprise-level availability.

Why Do You Need Object Storage?

Object Storage caters to the needs of Internet workloads such as web apps, websites, web hosting, or content delivery, making it easy to store, analyze, and extract insights from petabytes of unstructured data. With effectively limitless capacity, it is a secure storage tier for archiving volumes of growing data for compliance or regulatory purposes and a better alternative to the traditional tape storage.

The S3 API enables rapid search, easy scaling, and instant data access across hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments. This allows you to span your storage pool globally, supporting the needs of your cloud-native applications.

Other benefits of Object Storage:

Single-pane-of-glass access for simplified management
More consumable, predictable, and affordable than public cloud
Unmatched scalability beyond the limits of SAN or NAS storage
Improved productivity and ensured business continuity
Compatibility with virtualized or containerized environments
Lower TCO and reduced strain on primary hot and warm storage tiers

Store and analyze massive amounts of data at lower costs.

Object Storage Use Cases

Media and Entertainment

Media and Entertainment

Enable Immutability to Tamperproof your Backups!

Leverage phoenixNAP’s Veeam-compatible S3 cloud object storage to create a virtual air-gap and bulletproof your critical backup data against ever-growing ransomware threats.

Backups are essential for ensuring business continuity, which makes them increasingly attractive ransomware targets. Cybercriminals today rely on encrypting and deleting backup data first to cripple organizations’ ability to recover. This way they make the ransom payment their only choice.

The new Object Lock data immutability feature, available in Veeam Backup & Replication V10 and above, enables companies to prohibit any changes on the stored data for a specified amount of time. Backups are protected against accidental and malicious modifications to ensure their availability in case of a disaster.

Even if cybercriminals manage to gain access to your backups, they won’t be able to delete or modify them as the Object Lock feature would keep them protected in an immutable state.
