A Crash Course in Object Storage: Massive Scalability, Cloud Stores, Self-Healing, and Data Protection

This session will look at object-based storage and how it relates to scalability and cloud functionality. Learn what objects are and how they can be addressed, as well as how content-addressable storage can add unique options to functionality. Discover the impacts of scale and why self-healing and data protection in an object-based world will provide new viewpoints on the accessibility of data. Explore the benefits that objects provide and how this technology may change our perception of how data is accessed, stored, and protected as the industry grows beyond the limitations of RAID.

OUTCOMES: Investigate cloud storage and why you should care about it * Discover object-based storage architectures and just what an object is * Recognize why self-healing and data protection matter to getting beyond RAID
