Mass storage

Mass storage services provide a very large data storage space on magnetic tape based systems. They provide a very different service level from distributed filesystems or distributed storage services. Mass storage services provides a larger storage capability in terms of volume, but are not optimal for I/O performance. Consequently, storing data on mass storage services is preferred for large data volumes that do not require a frequent or fast access.
