WHY IS CLOUD STORAGE REQUIRED?
With the advent of distributed systems in the technology sector, there has been a shift from the traditional storage methods to more robust and convenient data storage solutions. With the increase in access of internet all around the world, there is a drastic increase in the amount of data that is available online. People have stopped investing their money in large storage devices which are difficult to carry around. The world is progressing at a fast pace and companies require their valuable data to be stored at a secure place and the ability to access it easily at any time and place.

However, what are some of the cloud best practices? When considering a cloud-based solution for your business, it is essential to keep some factors into consideration.

SPEED OF ACCESS
One of the factors to consider is the speed of access of the information in the cloud. This factor is dependent on the type of database used during the development of the cloud’s infrastructure. Saving in the cloud is of no use if you cannot access your important information easily at any time. For example, CloudBerry backup is an example of a cross-platform solution provided by Amazon Web Services storage partner solutions which allows you to back-up your information on Windows, mac or any other operating system and access it later conveniently as well. If you’re looking forward to finding a cheap and reliable solution, then this is probably one of the best options for you.

SECURITY
The security of the cloud storage system is an essential factor to keep into consideration. The system needs to be secure enough to prevent any unauthorized access from hackers. In addition to this, the solution needs to be such that it safeguards your information and does not disclose it to a third-party. “Cloud protection manager” is one of the best tools to consider when looking for a secure solution to back-up your valuable data.

SCALABILITY
Scalability emerges as an important factor when you need to back-up considerable amount of data. This is usually the case with large companies which are looking forward to store their customer data on a cloud. In such a scenario, it is a good idea to get private cloud storage from a reputable company. This will provide you with the facility to increase or decrease your storage space based on your requirement. This means you will only have to pay for the space which you are using on the cloud.

For Scalability use cases we are using Amazon EFS and S3

HOW TO DECIDE WHICH COMPANY PRODUCTS TO USE?
