10 Benefits of using cloud storage

Problem one: Unexpected hardware corruption-a number of reasons for hardware corruption can cause the service to stop, such as hard disk, motherboard, power supply, network card, and so on, although for these vulnerabilities, managers can

Find alternatives, such as creating a fully redundant environment (power, network, disk array, and so on), but the cost is too high and the work is very complex.

Cloud storage solves this potential hardware corruption problem by replicating files and having different servers. The cloud stores the location where the files are stored, and when hardware corruption occurs, the system

The read and write instructions are automatically directed to files stored on another storage server, keeping the service continuing. This is the 2 benefits of cloud storage

Benefits 1: Hardware redundancy

Benefit 2: Automatic failover

Problem two: downtime caused by storage-system upgrades-traditional storage-system upgrades require the backup of old storage-device files, downtime, and new storage devices, which can lead to service

Stop.

Cloud storage does not rely on a single storage server alone, so updates and upgrades to storage server hardware do not affect the availability of storage services, and the system migrates files from old storage servers

To another storage server, and when the new storage server is online, the files are migrated back. That's the third benefit.

Benefits 3: Storage device upgrades do not cause service disruption

Question three: Data growth judgment error-when adding a service item, sometimes it is wrong to judge the growth of the data, which leads to the waste of purchasing in advance.

The expansion of cloud storage is very simple, and the storage capacity allocated to each project can exceed the actual storage capacity, such as the total capacity of the hard disk is only 100TB, the system can set 200TB or even

300TB capacity for the project to use, wait until 100TB run out, then procurement server can be. This is particularly beneficial for storage service providers. There are three advantages to doing this

Benefit 4: Capacity allocation is not limited by physical hard disk

Benefit 5: Save electricity

Benefit 6: Provide capacity expansion in a timely manner

Problem four: Capacity limits-traditional storage uses serial expansion, and there is always a limit to how many expansion boxes it can take.

The architecture of cloud storage is parallel expansion, capacity is not enough, as long as the purchase of new storage servers, capacity immediately increased, almost unlimited. That's another benefit.

Benefits 7: Massive parallel expansion

Problem Five: Traditional storage is based on physical volume mapping, if the application side needs to read several storage simultaneously, each storage must be mount to the application side, which can be seen at the same time

It is difficult to apply to all data and index applications.

Cloud storage provides a uniform name that allows the application to access the entire storage pool's data with this name, which is convenient for application-side development.

Benefit 8: Unified external Name

Problem six: Excessive concentration of work-when there are several storage devices, inevitably, there will be uneven workload distribution, some storage is not in use, some are overloaded, which will

Bottlenecks that lead to overall storage effectiveness.

Cloud storage distributes the workload evenly across different storage servers, avoiding bottlenecks in the workload of individual storage servers to maximize the performance of the storage system.

Benefits 9: Load Balancing

Problem Seven: Management-storage management is very complex, different storage vendors have different management interface, data center personnel often need to face different storage products, in this case, understand each

Storage usage (capacity, load, etc.) becomes very complex. For the cloud storage, more storage server, in the eyes of managers, just a storage, managers as long as the overall hard disk capacity quickly run out, the procurement server can, each storage server usage status, can be seen on a management interface.

Benefit 10: Easy management

These are 10 reasons to be popular with cloud storage, and Parascale cloud storage software PCs has more features than any of these, and is the best choice for you to face today's explosive growth of data.
