Comedian George Carlin has a routine in which he
talks about how humans seem to spend their lives accumulating "stuff." Once
they've gathered enough stuff, they have to find places to store all of it. If
Carlin were to update that routine today, he could make the same observation
about computer
information. It seems that everyone with a computer spends a lot of time
acquiring data and then trying to find a way to store it.Clean your Windows registry with RegCure and stop error messages from slowing you down!
For some computer owners, finding enough storage
space to hold all the data they've acquired is a real challenge. Some people
invest in larger hard
drives. Others prefer external storage devices like thumb drives or compact discs. Desperate
computer owners might delete entire folders worth of old files in order to make
space for new information. But some are choosing to rely on a growing trend:
cloud storage.
While cloud storage sounds like it has something to
do with weather fronts and storm systems, it really refers to saving data to an
off-site storage system maintained by a third party. Instead of storing
information to your computer's hard drive or other local storage device, you
save it to a remote database. The Internet
provides the connection between your computer and the database.
On the surface, cloud storage has several advantages over traditional data
storage. For example, if you store your data on a cloud storage system, you'll
be able to get to that data from any location that has Internet access. You
wouldn't need to carry around a physical storage device or use the same computer
to save and retrieve your information. With the right storage system, you could
even allow other people to access the data, turning a personal project into a
collaborative effort.
So cloud storage is convenient and offers more flexibility, but how does it
work? Find out in the next section.
