Video 11 of 18 - Cloud Storage and Backup.

What is Cloud Storage& Backup?
Cloud Storage and Cloud Backup are easily explainable when we compare them to in-house storage and in-house backup. So on the one hand, with in-house storage and backup it's all hosted on your own server, on your own estate. Whereas with Cloud Storage and Cloud Backup, it's all hosted in a data centre, and controlled and protected by them.
How can using the Cloud benefit businesses?
There are three main areas of benefit to a company, when using Cloud Hosting and Cloud Backup. The first being affordability. So instead of buying your own server, and not utilizing all the space on that and that going to waste, with the data that is hosted off site you only pay for what you use. Secondly, because it is off site, if anything happens on your own site there could be a critical loss of data. Whereas when it's hosted off site, it's completely protected. And thirdly with backup to the cloud, everything is done automatically. So that saves a lot of time for companies that would usually back up to tape or disk.
