What is Cloud Storage?

Cloud storage is a service model that allows users to store, manage, and access data over the internet remotely, typically provided by a third-party cloud service provider, such as Impossible Cloud. Instead of storing data on local storage devices like hard drives or servers, users upload their data to remote servers maintained by the cloud provider. This data is stored in data centers, which are accessed via the internet using web-based interfaces or APIs.

Cloud storage offers advantages such as scalability, as users can easily increase or decrease storage capacity based on their needs, and accessibility, as data can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. Additionally, cloud storage often includes features like data redundancy, encryption, and backup capabilities to ensure data integrity and security.

Businesses benefit from GDPR compliance, reduced total cloud spend, and enterprise-grade security, including IAM, MFA, and geo-fencing. This service is seamlessly integrated with leading backup solutions and offers significant cost savings, making it an ideal choice for both personal and business use, including protection against ransomware and other cyber threats.
