Object storage, also called object-based storage, is a generic term that describes an approach to addressing and manipulating discrete units of storage called objects. Like files, objects contain data -- but unlike files, objects are not organized in a hierarchy. Every object exists at the same level in a flat address space called a storage pool and one object cannot be placed inside another object.  Both files and objects have metadata associated with the data they contain, but objects are characterized by their extended metadata. Each object is assigned a unique identifier which allows a server or end user to retrieve the object without needing to know the physical location of the data. This approach is useful for automating and streamlining data storage in cloud computing environments. Object storage is often compared to valet parking at an upscale restaurant. When a customer uses valet parking, he exchanges his car keys for a receipt. The customer does not know where h...

Following #FLASHNEXT ,lets try to summarize the technological advancements made in Flash -                                          Hybrid Arrays : Storage systems with a variable percentage of flash,with automated data placement (hot data on flash and cold data on HDD) to provide a balance of (usually not the highest) performance and (often the lowest) price. These are best for users’ persistent and predictable data that does much of the basic daily work. All-flash Arrays :  Combines the power of flash and the capabilities of enterprise storage Server Flash as Local Storage : PCIe flash card (that uses MLC media)  deployed in the server as a local storage device for application acceleration. By storing data locally on the  server, improves the performance of application reads and writes by reducing latency and  accelerating throughp...
