What is Block Storage?
Block storage is a type of data storage where data is divided into fixed-size blocks. Each block is treated as an independent unit and can be accessed individually. This allows for efficient storage and retrieval of data, making it suitable for databases, virtual machines, and other applications requiring high performance and low latency. Block storage is commonly used in Storage Area Networks (SANs) and cloud environments.
What other technologies are related to Block Storage?
Block Storage Competitor Technologies
File Storage
File storage, like block storage, is a method of storing data; however, it organizes data into a hierarchy of files and folders rather than raw blocks.
Object Storage
Object storage, like block storage, is a method of storing data; however, it manages data as objects with metadata and a unique identifier instead of raw blocks.
NAS
Network Attached Storage (NAS) provides file-based access over a network. It often uses block storage internally but presents a file-based interface, making it a competitor to directly exposed block storage.
AWS S3
Amazon S3 is an object storage service, and is a direct competitor to block storage.
