Cloud Object Storage
IBM Cloud® Object Storage lets you build a centralized datastore for nearly unlimited amounts of AI data. Curate and prepare data in its native format without needing to move in and out of IBM Cloud Object Storage. Leverage optimized datastore for data and AI workloads, supported by querying, governance and open data formats to access and share data across multiple query engines. Start in minutes with built-in security, governance, and automation.
Optimize workloads from your data warehouse and achieve up to 2x price performance. Reduce costs of your data warehouse, such as Hadoop, by up to 50% through workload optimization.
Extract more value from your data by modernizing ineffective data lakes with warehouse-like performance, security and governance. Centrally access all cloud data with multiple query engines.
Get a low-cost, scalable persistent storage layer for analytics with optimized connectivity to Apache Spark.
Accelerate machine and deep learning workflows required to infuse AI into your business. Build and train AI models, and prepare and analyze data, in a single, integrated environment.
IBM Cloud Object Storage provides security and data durability to store large volumes of data, helping safeguard your data from tampering or manipulation by ransomware attacks and helping ensure it meets compliance and business requirements.
Store massive amounts of IoT data at low cost and allow analytics frameworks to access the data directly. Easily set up and manage data pipelines to generate analytics-ready data.
