What Cloud Storage is
Cloud storage is a cloud storage computing based model that backs up & stores data on a remote phisical server via internet by a provider who manages and operates data storage as a service. It’s delivered on demand with specific capacity and costs. it eliminates buying and managing your own data storage infrastructure. This gives you avility, global scale and durability, with “anytime, anywhere” data control.
How Cloud Storage Work
Cloud storage is purchased from a cloud vendor of your choise who owns and operates data storage capacity and delivers it over the Internet in a pay-as-you-go model. Vendor cloud storage manage capacity, security & durability to make data accessible to your applications all around the world. In many ocasions you can manage your files using a computer or even a smarthphones as long as it has internet access.
Applications access cloud storage through traditional storage protocols or directly via an API. Services vary by vendor and they can designed it to help collect, manage, secure and analyze data at massive scale.
A few Benefits of Cloud Storage
Storing your data in the cloud lets your IT departments transform at least 3 areas:
- Total Cost of Ownership. With cloud storage, you do not need to purchase hardware, storage to provision, or capital being used for "someday" scenarios. Add or remove capacity on demand, quickly change performance and retention characteristics, and only pay for storage that you actually use.
- Time to Deployment. When development teams are ready to execute, infrastructure should never slow them down. Cloud storage allows IT to quickly deliver the exact amount of storage needed, right when it's needed. This allows IT to focus on solving complex application problems instead of having to manage storage systems.
- Information Management. Centralizing storage in the cloud creates a huge leverage point for new use cases. By using cloud storage lifecycle management policies, you can perform powerful information management tasks including automated tiering or locking down data in support of compliance requirements. Share files with secure passcode for extra security.
