Overview:

Object-based storage dispenses with the hierarchical file system, so there are no nested subfolders. Instead, it uses an indexed flatfile structure in which each object is given a unique ID. Each object acts as a container for end users’ files, and indexes are often held in RAM, making them very fast to access.

This issue of IT in Europe includes case studies of how object-based storage products are being implemented in Europe. Also included:

• Managing storage for virtual servers


• Backing up up virtual servers


• Ways to boost storage performance


• VMware: Your new storage vendor?


• And more!
