We ask the key questions about file, block and object storage: how they work on-premise and in the cloud, global file systems, and file and object locking.

That potentially makes data in object storage well-suited to analytics too. Object storage is also well-suited to web operations and cloud-native applications than file and block.

Q: Whats the difference between “storage virtualization” and “file virtualization”? A: At one level pretty much everything in storage these days is virtualized to some degree.
