Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) provides distributed, resilient, high-performance storage and retrieval of binary large object (blob) data. Object storage is distributed across a cluster of hardware systems, or nodes. The storage cluster is resilient against hard drive failure within a node and against node failure within a cluster. Nodes can be added to or removed from the cluster to adjust cluster capacity as needed.

Software-Defined Storage Solutions (SDS) encompasses a range of application and policy defined storage provisioning, storage virtualization and storage management automation. Related to software-defined networks (SDN) and datacenters (SDDC), SDS essentially decouples physical infrastructure as a constraint to storage management to the extent possible.

We are using Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) for storing the backups and archiving the old data. We are also using it as an attachment storage for a few of the applications that require frequent file storage, like our account and billing departments. Some of the applications are based on the data retrieval from the Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) via REST APIs.

Application and Database backup storage.
Archiving legacy data.
Attachment and media storage.

Better 3rd party integration is needed for the use cases where applications can use Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) directly.
Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) implementation with an On-premise network can be made more robust.
There can be some enhancement in the version control feature of the files specifically for the REST API based applications.

Cheaper to use Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) than the on-premise storage and hence savings in infrastructure cost.
Using Cloud based storage has reduced the manpower resources required to maintain the storage infrastructure, further reducing costs.
Overall, end-user latency has reduced by using Cisco Cloud Object Storage (COS) as a content delivery network for the media files.

IBM's cloud product support is top-notch all around. In most cases, having IBM's support is preferable, however the cloud documentation and training video are adequate for self-guided assistance. When compared to those of IBM's main rivals, its development communities pale in comparison. It may take some time for the communities to respond to a question that is really unique. A simple interface and reliable call home functionality. This software streamlines otherwise complex processes, such as managing certificates, and integrates smoothly into an Active Directory setting.

When compared to competing cloud storage options, it's far less complicated to utilize for transferring data.
In addition to helping with the organization of data, cataloguing facilitates better repository upkeep.
In most cases, having IBM's support is preferable, however the cloud documentation and training video are adequate for self-guided assistance.

More space for new users' data should be included in the Lite plan. There must be no cost associated with backing up data.
Cloud Object Storage file actions should be limited in scope to a select group of users.
Compatibility with external systems the greatest storage solutions on the market are far more efficient, but they come at a much higher price.

It ensures the safety of your data while it's being stored and offers the option to back it up in case anything should happen to your primary copy.
Whether on-premises, in the cloud, or both, you may use the same platform to establish a data storage service throughout your organization.
It's pliable, adaptable, and easy to scale up to numerous petabytes, so it can keep up with an infinite amount of data.

It saves lot of time and resources by keeping data all in one place which ultimately increases ROI as time is money.
