What is Local Object Storage?
Local object storage is a form of data storage that allows for the creation, management, and retrieval of large amounts of unstructured data. Unlike traditional file storage methods, local object storage does not use a hierarchical structure with folders and subfolders. Instead, it organizes data in a flat structure using unique identifiers called "objects." These objects can be up to multiple gigabytes in size and contain metadata that provides information about the data stored within them.
