Explanation

Cloud-optimized storage Content-rich applications combined with the growth of unstructured data are challenging to manage with traditional approach of storing data at scale. This combination of massive growth, new information types, and the need to serve multiple locations and users around the world, has led to requirements for information storage and management at a global scale. Cloud-optimized storage is a solution to meet these requirements. It delivers scalable and flexible architecture that provides rapid elasticity, global access and storage capacity ondemand. It also addresses the constraints of rigid, mount-point based interaction between storage and consumer by presenting a singular access point to the entire storage infrastructure. It leverages a built-in multi-tenancy model and enables self-service, fully metered access to storage resources thereby delivers storage-as-a-service on a shared infrastructure. Cloud- optimized storage typically leverages object-based storage technology that uses customizable, value-driven metadata to drive storage placement, protection and lifecycle policies. Key characteristics of cloud-optimized storage solution are: Massively scalable infrastructure that supports large number of objects across a globally distributed infrastructure Unified namespace that eliminates capacity, location, and other file system limitations Metadata and policy-based information management capabilities that optimizes data protection, availability and cost, based on service levels Secure multitenancy that enables multiple applications to be securely served from the same infrastructure. Each application is securely partitioned and data is neither co-mingled nor accessible by other tenants Provide access through REST and SOAP web service APIs and file-based access using variety of client devices
