Object storage is fast becoming a solution of choice for storing massive amounts of unstructured data.
The popularity of object storage is due in part to how it can scale efficiently. This in particular sets it apart from file and block as users can quickly expand their storage footprint with much less overhead. Testing has shown that Ceph Object can ingest up to one billion objects, spread across ten thousand buckets “with zero operational or data consistency challenges.” The stability, scalability, and sheer capacity of object storage has made it the ideal solution for technologies that can generate massive amounts of data at a time.
