Cloud - Data Storage on the Sky!

Differences between Cloud Storage & Cloud computing:

In the cloud storage, this is mere storage of data by a person or a business. But cloud computing is always useful for large businesses, who access the data and perform coding and design of a programme. This means that, it requires greater processing power to colloborate across multiple locations, perform the programming functions and share data and information virtually.

For cloud computing, you need cloud storage facilities to carry on the functions. The advantage of cloud storage is the sheer volume of data that enables the cost of maintenance of data cheaper, as against the conventional physical servers.

As compared to Cloud storage industry, the Cloud computing is growing by leap and bounds and to grow phenomenally over the years. With the growth of the information technology industry, the growth is going to be limitless.
