Hi,

Object storage is a highly scalable system for organizing and storing data objects without the use of a traditional file system structure. Object storage systems ingest data as objects with unique keys or IDs into a flat directory structure using simple commands. Metadata is stored with the objects rather than in an extensive hierarchical journal or tree. Search and retrieval is performed via key or ID searching.
The key difference between object storage systems and software-defined storage today is that the latter typically provides storage only for data emanating from workload that has been virtualized using a specific brand of server hypervisor software.
