Cloud storage is a cloud computing model in which data is stored on remote servers accessed from the internet, or "cloud." It is maintained, operated and managed by a cloud storage service provider on a storage server that is built on virtualization techniques. The advantages of Cloud Storage are,
Cost-Effective: The first benefit, and perhaps most important in the minds of many business owners, is the cost advantage.
Simplified Convenience: Your cloud storage provider will maintain, manage and support your solution. This frees up employees who would otherwise cover the tasks necessary for keeping your data safe and your server(s) up and running.
Enhanced security: The potential risk of hardware malfunction minimizes because your data is safely stored in redundant locations.
Mobility: If you work from multiple devices – i.e. phone, tablet, and desktop computer – you wont have to worry about manually adding the latest file onto each device. Instead, the newest version of your document is stored in the cloud and will be easily accessible from any of your devices.
Scalable Services: You can adjust the resources available through cloud storage providers and pay based on your current needs, modifying as they change.
