Google Cloud Storage vs Ambry: What are the differences?
Developers describe Google Cloud Storage as "Durable and highly available object storage service". Google Cloud Storage allows world-wide storing and retrieval of any amount of data and at any time. It provides a simple programming interface which enables developers to take advantage of Google's own reliable and fast networking infrastructure to perform data operations in a secure and cost effective manner. If expansion needs arise, developers can benefit from the scalability provided by Google's infrastructure. On the other hand, Ambry is detailed as "Distributed object store". It is a distributed object store that supports storage of trillion of small immutable objects (50K -100K) as well as billions of large objects. It was specifically designed to store and serve media objects in web companies. However, it can be used as a general purpose storage system to store DB backups, search indexes or business reports.
Google Cloud Storage and Ambry can be categorized as "Cloud Storage" tools.
Some of the features offered by Google Cloud Storage are:
- High Capacity and Scalability
- Strong Data Consistency
- Google Developers Console Projects
On the other hand, Ambry provides the following key features:
- Highly available and horizontally scalable
- Low latency and high throughput
- Optimized for both small and large objects
