We are now living in a fast paced technological era, massive amounts of data are being collected and stored every day. Things are different now; any type of information we are storing and transferring is determined by byte size. Currently, cloud storage has become a popular storage service among companies and organizations who are dealing with a large number of data. Cloud storage or cloud computing is a service model in which data is maintained, managed, backed up remotely by a hosting company and made available to customers over the Internet.
Basically, there are 3 types of cloud storage services in the market.
Public Cloud Storage
Public cloud storage requires little administrative controls and security. Usually it is used to store unstructured data with less sensitive and confidential. The service allows the clients to store files online so that they are able to get to the data from any location via the Internet. It is very economical and inexpensive because hardware, application and bandwidth costs are covered by storage provider. Public cloud storage is a service model for data storage on a pay-per-use basis.
Private Cloud Storage
Private clouds are data centre architectures owned by an individual or a single company that provide flexibility, scalability, provisioning, automation and monitoring. The main reason behind having a private cloud storage is the requirement of a secure platform and restricted access to the data. Basically, this kind of cloud storage can be divided into two formats: on-premises and externally hosted by provider. Both formats are primarily for businesses but not for individuals because it is expensive. If the clients are running a smaller home-based company, they can have more administrative control. Besides, they can customize the system to what they want it to accomplish in the way of business needs.
Hybrid Cloud Storage
Hybrid cloud storage is a combination of both private and public cloud storage. The primary benefit of hybrid cloud is agility. This is a multi-functional model where it can switch from public to private anytime at one’s convenience. It means that businesses can take advantage of the scalability, reliability and cost savings of public cloud storage, whilst also utilising the additional security and full control of private cloud storage.
By using hybrid service, clients can maintain control of an internally managed private cloud while relying on the public cloud, this creates an efficient storage environment which saves time and money.
