Object-based storage systems are commonly used in Cloud platforms and are capable to build much larger storage clusters. You can scale out object-based storage systems using economical commodity hardware, and you can replace hardware easily when it malfunctions or fails. Object based storage keeps several copies of data across multiple zones meaning that if one zone fails, the remaining zones are able to keep processing.
Storage provisioning is the process of assigning storage, usually in the form of server disk drive space, in order to optimize the performance of a storage area network (SAN) . The storage must be configured for optimum SAN performance. Logical unit numbers (LUNs) must be assigned within the network. The administrator must be certain that the data storage and recovery routes will be available to all users when needed. Alternate routes must be put in place that can keep the SAN functional in the event of partial failure. The administrator must make sure that the SAN can accommodate expected future expansion . In recent years, automated storage provisioning, also called auto-provisioning, programs have become available
