Object Storage :
1.Cloud storage can provide a storage structure to customers called object storage.
2.Files and metadata can be stored.
3.Accessible to web-interfaces of containers.
4.Uses a flat organization of containers (Amazon S3 calls them buckets)
5.Uses unique IDs called keys to locate.
6.Can disperse data across many object storage servers.
7.** Consistency is a potential problem, as changes must be propagated to all servers before assurance of the latest version.
