As companies and businesses of all sizes turn to automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning through software solutions and the IoT (Internet of Things), it becomes critical to have enough storage capacity for the data.
Most businesses today use some form of Big Data application, which requires not only analysis and tracking of data points around the clock but also the need to store that data in secure and accessible locations. Cloud storage offers this almost limitless storage possibility that can be easily designed to offer scalable, flexible, and highly secure customized storage solutions.
When considering cloud storage, it is important to recognize there are three different types of cloud storage requirements. Knowing what you need will be instrumental in choosing the right cloud storage provider.
File Storage
Increasingly, applications and software programs require the sharing of data. This means that the cloud has to offer a file system and integration with various applications and software programs. These types of files can include media storage, data repositories, or directories.
Object Storage
Object storage is typically used by applications that are developed for use in the cloud. Object storage allows for large-scale storage solutions by classifying different types of objects to store and access information more effectively. As with all cloud-based storage, this data is distributed through the cloud to prevent downtime should one storage option fail.
Block Storage
ERP or enterprise resource planning processes and databases use block storage. These massive block storage processes offer fast data retrieval that is critical for high volume computing workloads.
