<title>Introduction to Object Storage</title>
|
|
<para>Object Storage is a scalable object storage system - it is
|
|
not a file system in the traditional sense. You cannot mount
|
|
this system like traditional SAN or NAS volumes. Because Object
|
|
Storage requires a different way of thinking when it comes to
|
|
storage, take a few moments to review the key concepts in the
|
|
developer documentation at <link
