Data security still restricts cloud storage development

Amazon has launched a groundbreaking, simple storage service (known as the "S3" service) for nearly five years. However, regardless of the record of the service, it executives in many enterprises still have difficulty accepting the concept of using cloud storage services to store enterprise data.
　　
In industries such as manufacturing, finance, health care or education, IT professionals are still concerned about data security and privacy as before, and they are more concerned with compliance issues. They worry that sending data outside the enterprise poses risks.
　　
"For these reasons, we have not yet seen many companies willing to put corporate data in the cloud," said Adamcouture, analyst at Gartner, who studies storage services. ”
　　
This is not to say that the enterprise completely avoids cloud storage. Many companies in every vertical market find that the cloud is well-suited to their backup, archive, and file data. In other words, when the speed of data extraction is not a problem, the cloud is meaningful.
　　
"As businesses become more generally receptive to public cloud computing as a storage medium for mission-critical data and applications, the concept of cloud applicability will change over the next few years," Couture said. ”
　　
"If you're running Amazon EC2 (Amazon's cloud computing service) and S3, and the storage location is in the same physical location as the server, there's basically no latency problem," Couture said. You don't have to charge for every move, because the data is moved locally. ”
