What does cloud storage mean

What does cloud storage mean? First, a simple introduction, cloud storage in the cloud is represented on the server side of the calculation of the form, for users, see only the storage function, it can be said to the Platform users cloud storage and network disk is not much different.

If there is any difference:

First, what does cloud storage mean?

Cloud storage refers to a system that provides data storage and business access functions through the use of cluster applications, grid technologies, or distributed file systems to work together a large number of different types of storage devices in the network through application software.

and the network disk is simply a storage function, such as previously uploaded files on 115.

For advanced users, cloud storage can support unlimited capacity expansion, fast computing, such as the ECP cloud storage software-Enterprise network disk, the use of cloud storage technology. In addition, cloud storage is divided into: private cloud storage, public cloud storage. (with a portal, if you need to know more, you can go inside to get a deeper understanding).

Cloud storage has the following advantages:

(1) Storage management can be automated and intelligent, all storage resources are integrated together, customers see a single storage space;

(2) cloud storage can realize scale effect and elasticity expansion, reduce operation cost and avoid waste of resources;

(3) Improve storage efficiency, through virtualization technology to solve the waste of storage space, you can automatically redistribute data, improve the utilization of storage space, with load balancing, fault redundancy function.

The relationship between cloud storage and cloud computing

When the core of cloud computing system operation and processing is large amount of data storage and management, cloud computing system needs to configure a large number of storage devices, then cloud computing system is transformed into a cloud storage system, so cloud storage is a data storage and management as the core cloud computing system.
