What is cloud table storage TableStore?
Alibaba Cloud Table Store is a product of Alibaba Cloud Computing Platform. It is a storage service for massive structured data based on the NoSQL key-value pair storage engine. Compared with traditional relational databases or non-relational databases, cloud table storage has higher storage capacity, data reliability, query efficiency and low latency, and can be used in large-scale data analysis scenarios. Its unique "converged computing & storage" model combines online data processing capabilities with massive storage capacity, which can not only meet complex massive data query needs, but also enjoy extremely fast data access speeds, providing enterprises with efficient and low-cost services. data storage solution.
Why choose cloud table storage TableStore?
Like other NoSQL solutions, cloud table storage is also designed to solve the storage problem of massive structured data. However, compared with traditional relational databases or non-relational databases, the advantages of cloud table storage are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
-
Excellent performance
Cloud table storage has storage performance that exceeds other NoSQL solutions and can support online real-time queries, and its performance gradually improves as the amount of data increases.
-
High capacity
In cloud table storage, each table can store up to 100TB of data, which is a large order of magnitude. Traditional relational databases or non-relational databases usually have hardware limitations and therefore limited storage capacity.
-
cheap price
Cloud table storage adopts a pay-as-you-go method, and users only need to pay for the actual storage space used.
-
Available worldwide
Alibaba Cloud, where cloud table storage is located, is currently one of the largest data centers in the world. It has a large number of server resources and can quickly handle massive data storage in various application scenarios.
