As a cloud computing system with data storage and management as its core, cloud storage is an important breakthrough for the popularization of cloud computing applications. Cloud storage applications are hot in the recent cloud computing conference.
Throughout the ICT industry, the emerging technology concept of cloud storage is changing the way traditional storage is provided and used. Cloud storage through the cluster application, grid technology or Distributed file system functions, the network of a large number of different types of storage devices through the application of software to work together to provide data storage and business access functions. Compared with traditional storage devices, cloud storage is not only a piece of hardware, but a complex system consisting of network devices, storage devices, servers, applications, public access interfaces, access networks, and client programs.
Since the cloud storage system is a multiple device, multi-application, multi-service collaborative work of the collection, its implementation should be broadband network, Web2.0, application storage, clustering, grid, Distributed File System, CDN content distribution, Peer-to-peer, data compression, duplication of data deletion, data encryption, storage virtualization, Storage network management, such as the development of a variety of technologies as a prerequisite. As a data storage service based on broadband network, cloud storage is provided to users through the network. There are several ways in which users can use storage and pay by use (time, space, or combination of both).
The advent of the big data age will encourage more businesses and individuals to migrate data to the cloud. The surge in global data volumes has created a growing pressure on data storage and has driven the rapid growth of the entire storage market. Once the concept of "cloud storage" is put forward, its huge market space attracts the attention of many ICT manufacturers at home and abroad. The Internet industry, telecommunications industry, and so on layout of cloud storage, for the public and enterprises to provide storage services. Telecom operators with data centers and network resources will have a natural advantage over other service providers in providing cloud storage services.
Technology is better, the key is to popularize, the market to cultivate good. Cloud storage, as the foundation of all cloud services, has great scalability. For the diversity of user storage content, cloud storage service providers should derive a number of product lines to bring users a better cloud storage experience, so that cloud storage is truly a new way for people to save files and the best alternative to hardware storage devices.
