Cloud storage works in the same way as Virtual Servers. This means, in a nutshell, a number of storage units, networked together in our Data Centre and made available online for use by the client. A portion of any size of this vast resource of hard drive space is virtualized into private, accessible accounts for the end user.
So, rather than committing a certain financial investment toward a physical server to be housed, maintained, upgraded or expanded upon as time goes on, the client is able to request and pay for only such space as needed, with no concern for the costs of parts, logistics, labour or infrastructure.
If your business required, let's say, a terrabyte of hard drive space for store client, employee or any other sort of data, the traditional line of questioning would begin: how much to buy a drive or drives big enough? Into what computer would be put it? Where would we put the computer? Who would perform these tasks? How much would the facilities cost on an ongoing basis? How much does all this cost? And how long before it needs upgrading and we begin this analysis all over again?
With the news cloud model of data storage, all you need to know is our phone number. 10 minutes later, the space is available and ready to receive your data. There's only the single flat recurring fee, we take care of everything else for you.
