Object Storage

Overview

Object storage is a scalable and flexible data storage solution that allows you to store and manage large amounts of unstructured data. Unlike traditional file storage systems, object storage stores data as objects, each containing the data itself, metadata, and a unique identifier. This makes it ideal for use cases involving large datasets for machine learning applications, where efficient data management and retrieval are crucial.

In AI applications, especially when running GPU virtual machines (VMs), object storage is essential for handling vast amounts of data required for training models, storing datasets, and managing output results. It provides the necessary scalability and performance to ensure that data is readily accessible and manageable, thereby enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of AI workflows.
