BlobSpeicherung

BlobSpeicherung refers to a method of storing unstructured data, commonly known as "blobs" (Binary Large Objects). These objects can include a wide variety of data types such as images, videos, audio files, documents, backups, and any other form of binary data that does not fit into traditional row-column relational databases. Blob storage is designed for scalability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of access for large volumes of data.

Key characteristics of blob storage include its ability to handle vast amounts of data, making it suitable for applications requiring significant storage capacity. It typically offers different access tiers, such as hot, cool, and archive, allowing users to optimize costs based on data access frequency. Hot storage is for frequently accessed data, cool for less frequent access, and archive for data that is rarely accessed but needs to be retained.

Blob storage solutions are often provided by cloud service providers, offering features like durability, availability, and security. They usually support standard protocols for data transfer and management, enabling integration with various applications and services. Data is often stored in containers or buckets, which act as organizational units. Access control mechanisms are in place to manage permissions and ensure data privacy. The simplicity of its structure and its focus on unstructured data make it a popular choice for modern applications dealing with diverse and large datasets.
