Cloud Storage

Scalable object storage providing 99.999999999% durability for any data volume.

Cloud storage replaces local hardware with remote server clusters managed by providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. These platforms utilize object storage (S3) and block storage (EBS) to manage petabytes of data across global regions. Redundancy is the core feature: systems replicate files across multiple availability zones to ensure 24/7 uptime. Developers use REST APIs and CLI tools to automate lifecycle policies and scale capacity on demand. This infrastructure powers high-traffic services (Netflix and Dropbox) by delivering low-latency access to users worldwide.
