Today we continue discussing the best practice from storage engineering:

395) Catalogs also need to be served to a variety of devices. Websites tailored for mobile and desktop differ even in the content that is presented and not just the style, markup, script or logic. There is virtually no restriction to how much resource can be stored in the object storage and these can co-exist.

396) Similar to catalogs but in the form of document collections, libraries of digital content are just as easy to collect in organizations as any other repository. Most of these document libraries are using relational databases but they have no difference from object storage in terms of the use of the content and since versioning is supported.

397) These libraries differ from the catalogs in that they not only read-only traffic but also read-write on the documents in the collection. It is also internal to the organization as opposed to public catalogs

398) These libraries also participate in a variety of workflows which were earlier subject to limitations of the service as well as the portal where users sign in to access their documents. The use of an object storage on the other hand removes such restrictions

399) Unlike catalogs, libraries have to provide significant resource access control. Object storage with its S3 api is suitable for this purpose.

400) Unlike catalogs libraries don’t need to be served to multiple devices. However, libraries tend to grow in number. Therefore, object storage can encompass them all and provide limitless storage.
