What is the difference between Object Storage and NovaVault?
Both Object Storage and NovaVault are storage services from IP ServerOne, but they are made for different needs. Here’s a simple explanation to help you understand which one might be right for you:
Object Storage

What it is: A cloud-based storage made for storing a lot of data like backups, media files, and archives.

Who it’s for: Great for people who need a lot of storage space and want to store data in the cloud without needing to access it like a normal folder.
NovaVault
-
What it is: A cloud-based Network Attached Storage (NAS) system that works more like a shared folder or network drive.
-
How it works: You can connect it to your computer, phone, or office network and access the files like normal.
-
Who it’s for: Perfect for businesses or teams that need to share files, work together, and access the same data from different places.
