Cloud Storage
What is cloud storage?
-
Cloud storage is a term to describe long term (secondary) storage of data that resides in a remote location, accessible only via a wide area network (Internet)
-
Data is stored on remote servers, typically using magnetic storage (HDD), but increasingly using solid state (SSD)
|
Advantages |
Disadvantages |
|---|---|
|
Reliability – Access data anywhere, any time, from any device |
Cost – Typically a monthly/yearly subscription plan |
|
Security – Automatic backups |
Availability – No access without an internet connection |
|
Capacity – Endless storage space (cost permitting), uses less space on own device |
|
|
Collaboration – Multiple people can access the same file at the same time |
|
Worked Example
Data is increasingly being stored ‘in the cloud’
State two advantages of using cloud storage instead of local storage [2]
How to answer this question
-
A state question worth 2 marks only requires you to identify 2 advantages, they do not require any explanation
Answer
-
enables user to access their data from more places/devices
-
enables user to more easily share data with others
-
cloud storage is automatically backed up by the host
