[PLUG] West tomorrow - Object Storage 101

[Andy Wojnarek <andy.wojnarek@theatsgroup.com>]

In the spirit of Objectoberfest and because we don’t have an announcement, or the website updated – but I’ll be doing a talk on Object Storage tomorrow.

 

“Object storage (also known as object-based storage) is a computer data storage architecture that manages data as objects, as opposed to other storage architectures like file systems which manage data as a file hierarchy and block storage which manages data as blocks within sectors and tracks.”

 

Object storage typically runs on top of Linux and allows you to avoid vendor lock in.
