storage silo
Farm's tall cylinder
A storage silo is a tall cylindrical structure used to store bulk materials—typically grain, fermented feed (silage), cement, or coal.
On farms, silos preserve harvested crops; in industrial settings, they hold raw materials.
The term extends figuratively to any system where information or resources are kept isolated: The departments operated in storage silos, never sharing data.
