Cloud computing doors open for enterprise storage services

Cloud computing's many advantages make it a concern, cloud computing for enterprise storage services open the door, which undoubtedly for enterprise storage services inject fresh blood.

New data storage services are emerging on the public cloud, designed to be completely independent of other cloud computing services, and to immediately handle work data that customers use in real time in their own locations.

Because of the scale of cloud computing, these services have the potential to reduce the IT costs of the enterprise and become part of the IT application environment. "This not only reduces the pressure on customers to store data in their own place, but also the effect of shifting the pressure of backup data to the cloud supplier," said Timothy Stammers, senior analyst at Ovum. ”

Over the past 10 years, many start-ups have tried to create an online storage service provider (SSP). These companies are investing quite handsomely and industry watchers have predicted they will grow and thrive. On the contrary, the SSP wave has collapsed in recent years.

One of the main reasons for the wave's failure is that these services are not significantly cheaper than the internal storage systems of customers because SSP uses the same enterprise storage system as their customers. Stammers added: "The SSP cannot overcome the cost of network bandwidth, the enterprise can not save a lot of costs, and the concept of public cloud computing is not familiar." ”

The current network bandwidth price has dropped dramatically, finding the best way to use cloud computing services has become a top priority for all CIOs. Equally important, cloud computing service providers have begun to use a new generation of storage technologies that provide very large data storage capacity and are much less costly than traditional enterprise storage systems.
