8. First, let’s visit some storage
basics

9. Storage Basics - Block vs. File vs. Object
• Block Storage : SAN : EBS
– Data organized as an array of unrelated blocks
– Host File System places data on disk: Microsoft NTFS or Unix ZFS
– Structured data is predicted to grow at 34% CAGR until 2018
• File Storage : NAS :EBS
– Unrelated data blocks managed by a file (serving) system
– Native file system places data on disk: EXT or Filers
– Unstructured data is predicted to grow at 45.6% CAGR until 2018
• Object Storage :S3:RRS:Glacier
– A new data access, data storage, and data management model
• API access to data vs. traditional block or file system access
• Metadata Driven, Policy-based, Self Managing storage
• No host overhead for storage functions
– A system that stores virtual containers that encapsulate the data, data
attributes, metadata, and Object IDs
