Immutable Storage

Immutable storage prevents data from being modified or deleted after it has been written. Once data is stored, it remains unchanged for a specified retention period or indefinitely. This write-once-read-many (WORM) approach ensures data integrity and protection against accidental or malicious alterations or deletions. Object storage, including cloud storage, incorporates WORM functionality to create immutable storage.

Key benefits of immutable storage:

• Data integrity: Protects data from corruption or tampering.
• Disaster recovery: Provides a reliable data source for restoration.
• Compliance: Meets regulatory requirements for data retention and security.
• Security: Safeguards against ransomware and other cyber threats.
