storage silos
Tall cylindrical warehouses
Storage silos are large cylindrical structures used to store bulk materials—grain, cement, coal, sawdust, wood chips, or fermented feed (silage).
Farm silos storing grain are the most familiar image.
In business jargon, organizational silos are departments that hoard information rather than sharing it across the company: Marketing and engineering were operating in silos.
