As opposed to block storage, object storage (or object-oriented storage) intrinsically associate datas with rich metadata. While block storage is accessed through operating systems using unique location identifiers, object-oriented data is accessed via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http), and can be arranged via information associated to it such as size, data of creation, the name of the file, etc. While block storage is preferred where high throughput is paramount (e.g. for business critical applications), object storage may be preferred by developers for its ease of access, or for archived data that must yet remain discoverable, and searchable via associated metadata.

In Symform’s revolutionary Cloud Storage Network, each user contributes excess local storage in exchange for valuable storage in our globally distributed cloud. We're able to provide the most affordable, secure, high-performing, and environmentally friendly cloud storage on the market because our hands aren't tied by the security risks and variable costs of maintaining datacenters. 

Symform started when two senior Microsoft engineers wondered: why is local storage so cheap but cloud storage so expensive? Why does it cost thousands per year to store two terabytes of data in the cloud, while a two-terabyte drive costs only $100? 

The answer lay in the foundation for every cloud solution: the datacenter. Building datacenters—even the most efficient datacenters—is expensive and burdensome, especially because new datacenters have to be built to keep up with data growth, which isn’t going to slow down any time soon. So Symform’s founders set out to design a cloud solution that bypassed the datacenter problem. They ended up with the world’s first distributed cloud storage network. 

Today, the Symform team is creating the world’s largest datacenter, without ever building a datacenter. Our network grows each time somebody realizes that the age of paying for storage by the gigabyte is over. We’re proud to offer pay with Bytes instead of Bucks, a revolutionary way to pay for cloud storage and proud that the storage is the best in the world.
