Block storage is the oldest and simplest form of data storage. Block storage stores data in fixed-sized chunks called — you guessed it — ‘blocks’. By itself, a block typically only houses a portion of the data. The application makes SCSI calls to find the correct address of the blocks, then organizes them to form the complete file. Because the data is piecemeal, the address is the only identifying part of a block — there is no metadata associated with blocks. This structure leads to faster performance when the application and storage are local, but can lead to more latency when they are farther apart. The granular control that block storage offers makes it an ideal fit for applications that require high performance, such as transactional or database applications.

S3 Compatible Storage Today’s emerging enterprise storage medium is S3 compatible storage. Initially used only in the cloud, S3 compatible storage is now becoming very common in on-prem and private cloud deployments. The term “S3 compatible” means that the storage employs the S3 API as its “language.” Applications that speak the S3 API should be … Read More
