<h1 class="topictitle1">What Are the Advantages of Object Storage over SAN and NAS Storage?</h1>
|

<div id="body8662426"><ul id="obs_faq_0006__uea4ca3e510a049b1ad3a5c636046d388"><li id="obs_faq_0006__l9cfdc288a8f04feb804b805cc98b7f64">SAN storage provides LUNs or volumes for applications. LUNs and volumes are forms of disk storage. Upper-layer applications use Fibre Channel or iSCSI protocols to access SAN storage. SAN storage focuses on disk management. For other purposes, SAN storage must rely on upper-layer applications.</li><li id="obs_faq_0006__l6c35b4d88b7948f3bf3613b464d5431f">NAS storage provides file systems or folders for applications. Upper-layer applications use NFS or CIFS protocols to access NAS storage. Directory trees of file systems must be maintained.</li><li id="obs_faq_0006__l7bdedfa1d94b42808f0b935bdfe2b1d0">Object storage is suitable for web applications. A massive bucket storage space is provided based on a URL address to store a wide range of file objects. Object storage adopts a flat architecture. Users do not need to maintain complex file directories. There is no need to worry about running out of storage because the storage a bucket can provide is practically unlimited.</li></ul>
