Open Source Storage Software
Storage software provides systems for managing, indexing, and distributing digital files and object data across private networks. These tools handle diverse workloads ranging from container images and JSON documents to large scale machine learning datasets. This type of software serves developers and home office administrators who need to manage their own hardware. These apps allow you to store sensitive files and synchronize calendars or contacts without relying on external cloud vendors. You can scale your storage capacity horizontally to accommodate billions of files on your own infrastructure.
