High performance is no longer optional—but having high performance available isn’t the same as being able to afford using it. Beyond “Cold Storage”: Why Performance Matters Now Traditional object storage had a clear priority order: cost first, performance later. This worked fine for archiving backups and storing large, rarely accessed files. But today, object storage is increasingly the primary data layer for AI, analytics, and cloud-native applications.
