Cloud Storage Definition and Discussion
Enables new capabilities for new and existing applications Delivers new functionality to end users Provides an as needed, web-scale development environment
Cloud Storage: DefinedStorage accessed through Web Services APIs via a network (LAN or WAN)
Immature and fragmented, yet rapidly growing market No standardization on the required set of APIs A storage alternative for some use cases, not a replacement for all storage requirements May be cheaper than other storage options, and potentially less expensive to use, with richer,
end user oriented functionality Scalable, but only if the user of the storage can easily leverage it Enables a pay for use business model Independent from processing, accessible thru a network
