It describes both block storage and object storage, including their characteristics and use cases. By understanding these distinct storage solutions, you'll be able to effectively plan and manage data storage for your critical applications and services in GDC air-gapped deployments.\n\nThis page is for audiences such as IT administrators within the infrastructure operator group or developers within the application operator group who are responsible for selecting and managing storage solutions for their organization's projects in GDC air-gapped environments. For more information about the intended audience, see [Audiences for GDC air-gapped documentation](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/resources/audiences).\n\nBlock storage\n-------------\n\nGDC offers secure, reliable, durable, and low-latency network-based block storage that virtual machines (VMs) and containers can access like physical disks. Block storage is located independently from GDC VMs and containers, and can be preserved even after the VMs and containers are deleted. Block storage performance scales automatically with size, and can be resized to meet workload performance and space requirements. GDC block storage provides the following price and performance SKUs:\n\n- Balanced block storage: Solid-state drive (SSD) block storage that offers balanced performance and cost for general use.\n\nObject storage\n--------------\n\nObject storage, also known as object-based storage, is a computer data storage architecture designed to handle large amounts of unstructured data. Unlike other architectures, it designates data as distinct units, bundled with metadata and a unique identifier that can be used to locate and access each data unit. GDC object storage is suitable for use-cases like websites, streaming videos, and mobile apps. Data must be stored for at least 30 days."]]
