CLOUD STORAGE
• Cloud Storage: is a mode of computer data storage in which digital data is stored on servers in off-
site locations. The servers are maintained by a third-party provider who is responsible for hosting,
managing, and securing data stored on its infrastructure. The provider ensures that data on its
servers is always accessible via public or private internet connections.
• Cloud Storage enables organizations to store, access, and maintain data so that they do not need to
own and operate their own data centers, moving expenses from a capital expenditure model to
operational. Cloud Storage is scalable, allowing organizations to expand or reduce their data
footprint depending on need.
HOW DOES CLOUD STORAGE WORK?
• Cloud Storage uses remote servers to save data, such as files, business data, videos, or images. Users
upload data to servers via an internet connection, where it is saved on a virtual machine on a physical
server. To maintain availability and provide redundancy, cloud providers will often spread data to
multiple virtual machines in data centers located across the world. If storage needs increase, the cloud
provider will spin up more virtual machines to handle the load. Users can access data in Cloud Storage
through an internet connection and software such as web portal, browser, or mobile app via an
application programming interface (API).
CLOUD STORAGE IS AVAILABLE IN FOUR DIFFERENT
MODELS:
• Public
• Private
• Hybrid
• Multicloud
ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD STORAGE
• Total cost of ownership
• Elasticity
• Flexibility
• Security
• Sustainability
DISADVANTAGES
• Compliance
• Latency
• Control
• Outages
HOW TO USE CLOUD STORAGE
• Cloud Storage provides several use cases that can benefit individuals and organizations. Whether a
person is storing their family budget on a spreadsheet, or a massive organization is saving years of
financial data in a highly secure database, Cloud Storage can be used for saving digital data of all
kinds for as long as needed.
• Backup
• Archiving
• Disaster recovery
• Data processing
• Content delivery
TYPES OF CLOUD STORAGE
• Cloud Storage comes in three different types:
• object, file, and block.
CONCLUSION
• In conclusion, cloud storage is a great way to store data and
files. It is convenient, reliable, and secure. You can access
your files from anywhere, and you don't have to worry about
losing them if something happens to your computer.
