Object Storage is a storage format in which data is stored in discrete units called objects. Each unit has a unique identifier or key, allowing them to be found no matter where they’re stored on a distributed system.

The foundation of the FlashArray™ unified block and file approach is a radically different architecture that increases flexibility and removes any need to pre-plan your deployment. This enables the ability to configure and consume resources dynamically without having to consider potential impact in advance. Resources are considered global and eliminate multiple levels of abstraction typically seen in multi-protocol arrays. This is a modern approach to unified block and file, dramatically simplifying how workloads are consolidated.

Unified fast file and object (UFFO) is a new category of storage architectured that addresses the demands of modern applications. UFFO is a storage platform that consolidates native fast file and fast object storage with an architecture that delivers simplicity, scale, and performance.

Storage as a Service (STaaS) is a data storage business model where a provider delivers capacity and performance resources through a single subscription with service level agreements (SLAs). STaaS provides the ultimate in agility and simplicity—the storage is managed for you, and you only pay for the storage you need, when you need it.
