Data is everywhere.

Hybrid environments with clouds and on-premise systems make information technology (IT) delivery challenging.Organizations with multiple lines of businesses (LOBs) use multiple disparate software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications on top of existing legacy systems. These new applications become part of the IT ecosystem with little involvement from the internal IT team. As a result, businesses suffer from security issues and a lack of data intelligence. The way forward for these enterprises with a hybrid SaaS and on-premise applications lies in simplifying application integration. Businesses must adopt an integration platform as a service (iPaaS) software to aggregate, integrate, and manage cloud and non-cloud services reliably. iPaaS systems enable organizations to unify applications, integrate cloud data, manage application programming interfaces (APIs), automate workflows, and visualize business intelligence.

Think of watching a movie or TV series on a streaming platform. When using streaming platforms, global users stream or locally store large multi-gigabyte (GB) media files simultaneously. Object streaming is what happens in the background when doing so. Each TV series or movie is stored either as a splitted object or a mounted range of objects. And the way they are stored is a classic example of object storage.
