Why use Blob storage?
Anyone who has never heard of Blob Storage will probably google it to find out exactly what it is.
Blob Storage is the solution for storing objects in the Cloud. It’s an optimal solution to store massive amounts of unstructured data. Unstructured data is data that does not conform to a particular data model or predefined definitions, such as text or binary data.
Once stored in the Blob, the data is accessible worldwide. Moreover, it is even more powerful because you can manipulate Blobs using code.
BDRSuite provides support for using Blob data (Azure) or S3 (AWS). But why should you use this type of storage? Blob storage is particularly suitable for different data types you want to store securely but do not need to be edited and read continuously. So it is ideal for storing documents, archival copies of data, and backup data.
But when would you choose Azure Blob, and when would you choose AWS S3? To anticipate the conclusion a little bit… stay with your current Cloud provider (if you are already using it) or specifically choose Azure or AWS if you require a specific feature or another feature that you feel is important.
