What is Cloud Storage?




Hey guys, Keaton here with TechSmartt and today we are going to be talking about thecloud. So not the clouds in the sky, but the virtual clouds that might be virtual to us. But no so virtual to the companies that host them. As there are servers for these things. So, ill be honest with you guys, when I first heard about the cloud a few years ago, I reallythought people were talking about the clouds in the sky. I was like, how is there informationstored in the sky? Are there like massive buildings, that like, go up to the sky andlike, there’s servers and stuff like that. I was genuinely puzzled, so, this is kindawhy we’re doing this video. Although you know, I understand what it is, but there seemsto be a lot of confusion regarding what the cloud is, what it does, how to access it,and some of the current options to date. So without further delay, lets go ahead and gettalking about the cloud. By definition, according to Wikipedia, Cloud storage is a model ofdata storage where the digital data is stored in logical pools, the physical storage spansmultiple servers and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a hostingcompany.
