What is persistent storage? Persistent storage is any data storage device that retains data after power to that device is shut off. It is also sometimes referred to asnon-volatile storage. Magnetic media, such ashard disk drivesandtape, are common types of persistent storage,. Persistent storage...
When working with containers, one major point of concern is the persistent storage of data. Container storage is ephemeral, meaning that the data written by the containerized application is not preserved if the container is removed. Containerized applications work on the assumption that they always ...
Persistent data is any data stored on a non-volatile storage medium that remains accessible for long-term use until it is purposefully deleted or overwritten.
A primary storage system, whether local in a server, networked and shared like a SAN or NAS, or cloud-based, may be composed of various types of media. Hard-disk media is still the most prevalent type of data storage, but because high performance is typically required of primary storage, ...
Cloud storage is a term that encompasses several storage capabilities available to cloud customers that run on a cloud provider’s hardware.
What is secondary storage? External memory is also known as secondary memory and involves secondary storage devices that can store data in a persistent and ongoing manner. Because they can be used with an interruptible power supply, secondary storage devices are said to provide non-volatile storage...
Cloud-based object storage is an ideal solution for storing and managing high volumes of static or unstructured data reliably, efficiently and affordably.
SCM, also known as persistent memory (PMEM), is a new type of media technology that is blurring the line between memory and storage because it can be used as either. Examples of SCM include Intel’s 3D XPoint and Samsung’s Z-NAND media. When broadly deployed, NVMe and NVMe-oF, especi...
Block Storage for Flexible, Fast Access Block storage is a form of cloud storage that is used to store data, often on storage area networks (SANs). Data is stored in blocks, with each block stored separately based on the efficiency needs of the SAN. Each block is assigned a unique addres...
