Object Storage is a technology whose time has come.
Exponential increases in the volumes of data being stored, the growing importance of metadata, the need for global access, and a transition to distributed cloud based applications have pushed traditional block- and file-based storage beyond the breaking point.
Object storage is not just about adding new storage functionality. It also fundamentally reduces the complexityof how applications interact with storage. The basic object model of HTTP (create, retrieve, update, and delete) has been well proven in the world’s most
scalable and successful application, the World Wide Web, and the standardization of object storage follows the same proven model — dramatically simplifying how applications interface with storage.

Between tiers ✓ Object-level encryption for improved security and to support multi-tenancy environments ✓ Intelligent, prioritized caching, which ensures that frequently accessed data is kept in local cache, enabling local access at file system speeds for an organization’s most demanded data By going beyond the limitations of traditional storage containers and hierarchical file system structures, StorageGRID delivers metadata-based data management. Queries can be executed based on user- or.
System-defined metadata. Content-aware processing allows self-healing of rule-based retention during network disruptions. Resource-aware processing allows physical relocation of storage devices for rapid bulk data onboarding and movement. Business continuity assurance is a prime capability of StorageGRID, especially in the case of disaster, due to its multisite content federation. StorageGRID can be configured to sustain one or multiple simultaneous faults, up to and including the loss of entire.
