What is Cloud Storage and How to get it for FREE

Do you have chunks of data and need a place to store that data at some place from where you can access it from anywhere. Well problem with storing important data is that it is not generally portable, you can’t take your personal computer everywhere. Moreover another problem with storing data is that your data is always vulnerable to some sort of virus attacks. So in this post I am going to tell you an easier way to store data, protect your data, accessing it from anywhere and yeah You can share it too!

What is Cloud Storage?

Cloud Storage is a model of network computers providing data storage services. In Cloud storage data is just not saved at the person’s computer but also at a third party storage server which is accessible from anywhere. These data storage services could be accessed from anywhere using specific APIs or through web based browsers.

Architecture

Modern day cloud storage is based on highly virtualized infrastructure and has the same characteristics as cloud computing in terms of agility, scalability, elasticity and multi-tenancy.Cloud storage services like OpenStack, cloud storage products like EMC Atmos and Hitachi Cloud Services, and distributed storage research projects like OceanStore are all examples of object storage and infer the following guidelines.

Cloud storage is:

  • Made up of many distributed resources, but still acts as one
  • Highly fault tolerant through redundancy and distribution of data
  • Highly durable through the creation of versioned copies
  • Typically eventually consistent with regard to data replicas.

Advantages of Cloud Storage :

  • When data is distributed it is stored at more locations increasing the risk of unauthorised physical access to the data. For example, in cloud based architecture, data is replicated and moved frequently so the risk of unauthorised data recovery increases dramatically.
  • Risk of unauthorized access to data can be mitigated through the use of encryption, which can be applied to data as part of the storage service or by on-premises equipment that encrypts data prior to uploading it to the cloud.
  • It increases the number of networks over which the data travels. Instead of just a local area network (LAN) or storage area network (SAN), data stored on a cloud requires a WAN (wide area network) to connect them both.
  • By sharing storage and networks with many other users/customers it is possible for other customers to access your data. Sometimes because of human error, faulty equipment, a bug and sometimes because of criminal intent. This risk applies to all types of storage and not only cloud storage. The risk of having data read during transmission can be mitigated through encryption technology.
  • One can access data from anywhere and using any device.

How to get Free Cloud Storage?

 Well cloud storage service is one hell of a service and requires much investment to operate. But still there are some companies which provide free cloud storage. Dropbox is one of the best cloud storage service.
In Free account You will get 2GB of storage which you use for any storage purposes. You can upload your pics, videos, songs, documents, etc.
To create your own FREE account visit this link. You will get 2Gbs of free storage and you can even extend it by sharing this link with your friends.
 Dropbox

Advantages of Dropbox

  • You can share your data with any other dropbox user.
  • Your data is secure from all sort of malicious attacks.
  • You can access your data anywhere on any device on any platform.
  • Data is synced periodically.

I hope that you will like my post. Share this post with your friends to let them know about this amazing cloud storage service.

  1. PLEASE READ!!!Hello Guys!!! I am Ruth I live in Ohio USA I’m 32 Years old, am so happy I got my blank ATM card from Adriano. My blank ATM card can withdraw $4,500 daily. I got it from Him last week and now I have withdrawn about $10,000 for free. The blank ATM withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it because it is blank just your PIN will be on it, it is not traceable and now I have money for business, shopping and enough money for me and my family to live on.I am really glad and happy i met Adriano because I met Five persons before him and they could not help me. But am happy now Adriano sent the card through DHL and I got it in two days. Get your own card from him right now, he is giving it out for small fee to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught or traced. I’m happy and grateful to Adriano because he changed my story all of a sudden. The card works in all countries that is the good news Adriano's email address is adrianohackers01@gmail.com
