ObjectScale provides high-performance containerized object storage built for demanding applications and workloads including Generative AI, analytics, and more. It is a software-defined, containerized object storage that delivers enterprise-class and high performance in a Kubernetes-native environment. ObjectScale empowers organizations to put data closer to the applications they support, reduce latency, and improve the user experience.
Dell ObjectScale uses various Erasure Coding (EC) schemes for data protection. EC is a method of data protection in which data is broken into fragments, expanded, and then encoded with redundant data pieces. The data pieces are stored across different locations or storage media. The objective of EC is to enable data that becomes corrupted at some point in the disk storage process to be reconstructed. The data reconstruction process involves using information about the data that is stored elsewhere in ObjectScale instance.
