 INTRODUCTION
Cloud storage is a model of data storage in which the
digital data is stored in logical pools, the physical
storage spans multiple servers (and often locations), and
the physical environment is typically owned and
managed by a hosting company.

What Is Cloud Storage?
Cloud storage allows you to save data and files in an off-
site location that you access either through the public
internet or a dedicated private network connection. Data
that you transfer off-site for storage becomes the
responsibility of a third-party cloud provider.
The provider hosts, secures, manages, and maintains the
servers and associated infrastructure and ensures you have
access to the data whenever you need it

 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

 Cloud Storage Business Benefits
With cloud storage, there's no need for CDs, external hard
drives, or localized servers
Data is quickly and automatically updated in the cloud and
available for your retrieval whenever you need it
Should your office become the victim of a burglary, fire, or
natural disaster, your data is safe and secure in the cloud, even
if your physical assets are destroyed
With no need for physical, on-site storage space, you can have
a smaller workspace, less equipment to buy, and fewer IT
employees to maintain your equipment and manage your data

What does it cost to users?

Things to consider:
• What does the company or you need out of the service
 Storage Space
 Budget
• Performance
 Typical transfer rate 2-3Mb/sec

• Technical Support
• Data Protection
 Disaster Recovery
 Comprehensive Backup

• Security

Types of Cloud Storage

 Public Cloud Storage

 Private Cloud Storage
 Hybrid Cloud Storage
 Community cloud storage

 Advantages
Cost
Purchasing physical storage can be expensive. Without the need for
hardware, cloud storage is exceptionally cheaper per GB than using
external drives.
Accessibility
Using the cloud for storage gives you access to your files from
anywhere that has an internet connection.
Recovery
In the event of a hard drive failure or other hardware malfunction,
you can access your files on the cloud. It acts as a backup solution
for your local storage on physical drives.
Security
Cloud storage providers add additional layers of security to their
services.

 Disadvantages
Internet Connection
Cloud based storage is dependent on having an internet
connection. If you are on a slow network you may have issues
accessing your storage.
Hard Drives
Cloud storage is supposed to eliminate our dependency on hard
drives right? Well some business cloud storage providers require
physical hard drives as well.
Support
Support for cloud storage isn't the best, especially if you are using
a free version of a cloud provider. Many providers refer you to a
knowledge base or FAQs.

 Conclusion
In conclusion, cloud computing is a recent new
technological development that has the potential to have a
great impact on the world. It has many benefits that it
provides to it users and businesses
Thanks to Data Replication, which makes the Storage approach
in the cloud more Scalable.
