Different kinds of data storage include file storage, block storage and object storage. File storage organizes information in a hierarchical fashion and allows access through unique identifiers. Object storage uses an REST API that offers massive scaling and supports unstructured data. Block storage combines multiple storage media into one device, providing high availability and scalable performance.
Prices, capacities, and security features vary between storage options. Certain vendors, including Cisco, Dell EMC and HPE provide enterprise-level storage that combine storage software, hardware, and networking components into one unit. Other vendors, such as Drobo, iXsystems and QNAP offer all-flash or hybrid storage products.
