What is Cloud storage?
Cloud storage is a storage architecture where physical data is sent via the Internet to be stored on remote servers – possibly multiple servers in multiple locations. Cloud storage may be managed by third-party service provider or within an enterprise’s own data center, or both.
What is multi-cloud storage?
Multi-cloud storage refers to storage architectures that store data on multiple Cloud storage systems in order to achieve redundancy, cost-savings and improved performance.
What is hybrid Cloud storage?
Hybrid Cloud storage is a system for storing data that includes both data storage on premises and in the Cloud. By enabling data to be stored in a variety of locations, a hybrid Cloud storage system can help to reduce costs, simplify management and address issues of data sovereignty, security and latency.
What is Cloud object storage?
Cloud object storage is a technology for storing data in the Cloud as objects rather than as files. An object includes data, metadata and a unique global identifier. Object storage is considered to be better for Cloud applications because of its ability to support unlimited data growth.
