Storage Needs

• Lets understand Storage Needs of the organizations by the scenarios
• Lets classify storage into various different sections
  • Network Storage
  • Server Backup Storage
  • Archive Storage
• Scenario 1: Organization want to save cost on Archival Storage
  • Every cloud gives archival storage at very less cost
  • Thats the motivation for organizations to move to cloud for atleast archival storage.
• Scenario 2: Organization wants to move infrequently used backups to Cloud
  • Same as above
• The both scenarios above speak about moving the data into cloud. But for moving what are options which we have
  • Uploading the data using Internet:
    • Advantages: Easy
    • Disadvantage: Unreliable and time consuming
    • Usage: We will use this approach when we are uploading small sizes and this approach will not workout if we use for large sizes of storage
  • Uploading using the Offline Methods
    • Advantages: Good for large storage movements
    • Disadvantage: Costly
    • Usage: When data to be transferred to the cloud is huge and one time.
  • Special Hardware Devices:
    • Cloud Provider provides a special servers which can be installed on Cloud Consumers Datacenters and this server will help in synchronizing the data with cloud providers storage.
    • When to Use: Use this mode when daily sync has to happen between cloud and On-Premise
