Today, I will talk to you about the difference between cloud storage and network disk, which may not be well understood by many people. in order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following content for you. I hope you can gain something according to this article.

Cloud storage is a new network storage technology which extends and develops in the concept of cloud computing. Compared with the traditional network disk, it is different in many aspects.

Product forms are different.

The main product form of the network disk is the web page, and the auxiliary form is the APP or software of each platform. The underlying product form of cloud storage is API, which provides a series of interfaces through which users can upload, download, manage and process files. In order to enable developers to access more quickly, cloud storage vendors will be packaged into SDK and tools based on these API, providing secondary product form.

Storage technology is different

The data uploaded by the traditional network disk has an one-to-one relationship with the server space. That is, for every 1g of data uploaded by users, the server must provide 1g of storage space, which brings higher requirements for bandwidth and storage space for operators.

The cloud storage server will compare the uploaded data with other materials on the server in terms of size, content and so on. Once the exact same data is found, the upload operation will be successful immediately and will not take up server space repeatedly. So the data uploaded by cloud storage has an one-to-one and many-to-one relationship with the space of the server. It also greatly reduces the server space.

Data security is different.

In order to save costs, the traditional network disk often only stores users' data on a single server, once the server is hacked and the data is lost, it is not possible to retrieve it. Cloud storage, for example, does an excellent job in security. Three copies of data are written in real time, which can ensure rapid recovery in the event of any copy failure and effectively avoid physical security threats.

Product function difference

At first, the traditional network disk has only the lowest storage function, and then gradually has the sharing function, which can not meet the needs of user data migration and management. Cloud storage not only has the function of traditional network disk, but also has the function of synchronization, which is the data requirement of multi-screen era. So that data can be shuttled between all intelligent terminals, such as mobile phones, pc, notebooks, pad, smart TV, truly synchronous storage.

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