Strict Consistency is a Hard Requirement for Primary Storage

Enterprises rely on data to make decisions. Effective decision-making hinges on the accuracy, timeliness, availability, and security of data. Data consistency, an important factor that cannot be ignored when purchasing storage, involves ensuring that all relevant parties can immediately access the results of a database transaction once it has been finalized, either through commitment or rollback. This guarantees that everyone

Jonathan Symonds Jonathan Symonds on Object Storage | 6 September 2023

It seems like more and more companies are touting themselves as one-stop shops for object, file and block storage these days - adopting the mantle of “unified” storage and offering to support a variety of storage protocols.

Putting a Filesystem on Top of an Object Store is a Bad Idea. Here is why.

When purchasing storage, the emphasis is usually on media, but it may be even more important to consider access methods too. You will need to take storage protocols into account when designing and procuring infrastructure, especially when you leave legacy storage behind in order to migrate to cloud-native object storage. However, object storage relies on the S3 API for communications,
