Market Share: Object-Based Storage, 2025, Worldwide

Quadrant Knowledge Solutions Reveals that the Object-Based Storage Market is Projected to Register a CAGR of 12.30% by 2030. 

Organizations come across multiple sources of unstructured data from social media, the web, smart devices, and edge devices. Distributed file systems and object storage are common solutions for storing these unstructured data in a flat hierarchical structure to avoid delay in data retrieval. Object storage stores the data with the help of metadata and ID for efficient retrieval. In the case of file storage, the data is stored in the form of folders known as directories. These directories have subdirectories that create the tree-like structure, and the file is stored and retrieved by following the specific file path. In the case of block storage, the data is divided into multiple equal blocks and then it is stored in physical storage with the help of a storage area network. With the increase in data storage and scalability limitations, object storage gained popularity over file storage and block storage.  

Quadrant Knowledge Solutions defines “Object-based storage (OBS) is the method of storing unstructured data which are shared in any format such as PDFs, text, emails, videos, audio, graphics, webpages, etc. OBS enables organizations to control and manage non-hierarchical data produced in large volumes that are stored on either premises or in the cloud. The data that are distributed in multiple folders and subfolders in a device can be stored as individual objects in a single location. In object-based Storage, it connects all the pieces of data to build a file, adds all the related metadata to that file, and attaches a unique identifier to easily search the file.”
