On-Premises Storage vs Object Storage
Developers should learn about on-premises storage when working in environments that require strict data sovereignty, compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, or low-latency access for high-performance applications such as financial trading or scientific simulations meets developers should learn and use object storage when building applications that require scalable, cost-effective storage for large volumes of unstructured data, such as media hosting, big data analytics, or backup solutions. Here's our take.
On-Premises Storage
Developers should learn about on-premises storage when working in environments that require strict data sovereignty, compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, or low-latency access for high-performance applications such as financial trading or scientific simulations
On-Premises Storage
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about on-premises storage when working in environments that require strict data sovereignty, compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, or low-latency access for high-performance applications such as financial trading or scientific simulations
Pros
- +It is also relevant for legacy systems that cannot be easily migrated to the cloud or for organizations with significant existing infrastructure investments
- +Related to: storage-area-network, network-attached-storage
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Object Storage
Developers should learn and use object storage when building applications that require scalable, cost-effective storage for large volumes of unstructured data, such as media hosting, big data analytics, or backup solutions
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable in cloud environments and microservices architectures, where its API-driven access and high durability support distributed systems and disaster recovery scenarios
- +Related to: amazon-s3, google-cloud-storage
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use On-Premises Storage if: You want it is also relevant for legacy systems that cannot be easily migrated to the cloud or for organizations with significant existing infrastructure investments and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Object Storage if: You prioritize it is particularly valuable in cloud environments and microservices architectures, where its api-driven access and high durability support distributed systems and disaster recovery scenarios over what On-Premises Storage offers.
