Today, I would like to talk to you about what cloud storage is, many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor summarized the following content for you. I hope you can get something from this article.

Cloud storage means saving data to a storage system maintained by a third party, that is, a remote database, rather than storing information to a computer's hard drive or other local storage device.

Principle of cloud storage

Through the functions of cluster application, grid technology or distributed file system, a large number of different types of storage devices in the network work together through application software to provide data storage and business access functions to ensure the security of data and save storage space.

To put it simply, cloud disk storage is a new scheme to put storage resources on the cloud for human access. Users can easily access data on the cloud at any time, anywhere, through any networked device.

Significance of cloud storage

Cloud storage has exceeded traditional data storage and so on. For example, if you store data in a cloud-stored system, you can access the data through Internet anywhere. Instead of having to carry a physical storage device or use the same computer to store and retrieve your information, with the right storage system, you can even allow others to access the data and turn it into a shared project.

Compared with traditional storage, cloud storage changes the storage mode in which data is stored vertically on a physical device, expanding from PB level of a single device to tens or hundreds of PB in storage capacity. Because each node in the cloud storage system can provide read and write access services in parallel, the overall performance of the system is synchronously improved with the increase of business nodes.

At the same time, the fault protection capability at the node level and even the data center level is further provided for the system through redundant coding technology and remote replication technology. The on-demand expansion of capacity and performance and high system availability are the core technical features of cloud storage systems.

After reading the above, do you have any further understanding of what cloud storage is? If you want to know more knowledge or related content, please follow the industry information channel, thank you for your support.
