- Data archiving - store and manage large amount of data in archive form also.
- Data analytics - stored data are processed for the analytics purpose.
- It supports hybrid cloud storage and can be integrated with on-premises storage for more flexibility.
- Backup and recovery.
Cons
- Searching and retrieving—full-text search or metadata search—is one of the significant areas of improvement. It isn't easy to search for data with this.
- Integration with other IBM cloud services is trickier. For example, integrating this with API Connect to access the data from API will be difficult for users.
- Support - I think you should have more support community.
University instructors can manage their data storage demands with IBM Cloud Object Storage, which provides a reliable, secure, and affordable option.
