Description: File storage refers to a storage model that stores data as files in a hierarchical structure. This approach allows for organizing information in a way that is easily accessible and manageable. In a file storage system, data is grouped into directories and subdirectories, making it easier to navigate and search for specific files. Each file has a unique name within its directory and can contain various types of information, from text documents to images and videos. This model is fundamental in modern computing as it provides an intuitive way to interact with data, allowing users to create, modify, and delete files easily. Additionally, file storage is compatible with a wide variety of operating systems and applications, making it a versatile option for data handling. The hierarchical structure not only enhances organization but also allows for the implementation of access permissions and security, ensuring that only authorized users can access sensitive information. In the context of virtualization platforms, file storage is used to manage disk images and other resources, facilitating the administration of virtual machines and optimizing the use of available storage space.
