Remote Servers (Data Centers): Your data isn't on your local hard drive; it's on large, powerful servers located in data centers operated by cloud providers (e.g., Google, Amazon, Microso ). ● Accessibility: Data can be accessed from any device (laptop, smartphone, tablet) with an internet connection, anywhere in the world, by logging into your cloud account. ● Scalability: Cloud storage can easily expand or shrink based on your needs. You pay for what you use, so you don't need to buy extra hardware you might not always need. ● Redundancy and Durability: Cloud providers store multiple copies of your data across di erent servers and o en in di erent geographical locations to ensure data safety and availability, even if one server fails. ● Cost-E ectiveness: Reduces capital expenditure (no need to buy and maintain physical storage hardware) and shi s to an operational expense (pay-as-you-go).
This course introduces learners to the fundamentals of cloud storage and the role of remote servers (data centers) in modern computing. It explains how data is stored on large, powerful servers managed by cloud providers such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, instead of local hard drives.
Learners will explore key features of cloud storage, including:
Accessibility – Accessing data anytime, anywhere, and on any internet-enabled device.
Scalability – Adjusting storage capacity as needed with a pay-as-you-use model.
Redundancy and Durability – Ensuring data safety through multiple copies across different servers and locations.
Cost-Effectiveness – Reducing capital investment in physical storage by shifting to an operational expense model.
