Object Storage

Object storage is a cloud based distributed blob store used to store any amount of unstructured data such as images, videos, pdfs and any other file types. Cosmocloud Object storage is a fully managed, scalable storage layer, backed by Cloud’s Blob Storage like AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, etc.
