Distributed File System
A file system that allows multiple clients to access and process data stored on the server as if it were on their own local computer. Ideal for distributed computing environments and large networks.
Simple Storage Service (S3)
A scalable object storage service for data backup, archival and analytics. Ideal for businesses of all sizes that want to offload the work of managing storage infrastructure.
Quantum Computing Storage
Storage systems that are designed to work with quantum computers, capable of handling the data produced by qubits. Ideal for future-proofing storage needs in anticipation of advances in quantum computing technology.
Object Storage
A storage architecture that manages data as objects, each including the data itself, metadata, and a unique identifier. Ideal for storing images, audio, video, and large unstructured data sets.
File Storage
A hierarchical storage methodology that organizes and stores data in folders and files. Ideal for shared files and directories that require network access.
Content Delivery Network (CDN)
A distributed network of servers that delivers web content and services to users based on geographic locations. Ideal for serving static content and reducing latency.
iSCSI Storage
A protocol that enables transport of block-level storage data over IP networks. Ideal for linking data storage facilities for businesses that require off-site backups and remote access.
Cold Storage
A cost-effective storage service for data that is rarely accessed, offering lower storage costs. Ideal for archival or backup purposes, compliance data, and historical records.
Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS)
A cloud service model that provides users with seamless use of a database without the need for physical hardware, software, or configuration. Ideal for developers who need to quickly spin up databases.
Solid-State Drives (SSD) Cloud Storage
A type of cloud storage that utilizes SSDs for storing data, offering high-performance read/write speeds. Ideal for performance-critical applications and reducing latency.
Elastic File System (EFS)
A managed file storage service for cloud computing systems that automatically scales to accommodate growing data. Ideal for use with cloud services that require shared file storage.
Flash Storage
A type of non-volatile storage that is faster than traditional mechanical disks. Ideal for operations that require high-speed data access, such as real-time data processing.
Fibre Channel Storage
A high-speed storage networking technology for data centers. Ideal for mission-critical applications that cannot tolerate latencies and require consistent network performance.
Glacier
A secure, durable, and extremely low-cost storage service for data archiving and long-term backup. Ideal for data that is infrequently accessed but should be retained for several years.
Block Storage
A storage architecture that segments data into blocks, each with a unique identifier. Ideal for databases and high-performance workloads that require low-latency access.
Network Attached Storage (NAS)
A dedicated file storage that provides file-level access to data over a shared network. Ideal for small to medium-sized businesses for simple sharing of data over a network.
Hybrid Cloud Storage
A storage environment that combines private and public cloud storage services, with orchestration between the two. Ideal for businesses requiring both on-premises and scalable cloud storage.
Data Lakes
Highly scalable storage repositories that hold vast amounts of raw data in its native format until needed. Ideal for big data analysis, machine learning, and storing unstructured data.
Restore/Backup Services
Cloud services that enable users to back up and restore data across cloud computing environments. Ideal for disaster recovery plans and maintaining data integrity.
NFS Storage
A protocol that allows remote access to files over a network similar to local storage. Ideal for sharing data between networked servers and enabling file access and sharing across cloud environments.
ZFS
A combined file system and logical volume manager that provides high storage capacity and integrates file systems and volume management into a single piece of software. Ideal for preventing data corruption and ensuring clear data snapshots.
Public Cloud Storage
A storage service offered by cloud service providers over the internet with data stored in provider's data centers. Ideal for scalable, flexible, and accessible storage needs.
Google Cloud Storage
A unified object storage service that encompasses both live and archival data. Ideal for developers and enterprises to store and access any amount of data at any time.
Azure Blob Storage
A Microsoft Azure service that stores unstructured data in the cloud as blobs (binary large objects). Ideal for serving images or documents directly to a browser, storing files for distributed access, and streaming video and audio.
Hot Storage
Storage designed for frequently accessed data, provides quick access times. Ideal for active database storage, real-time analytics, and caching.
Bigtable
A fully managed, scalable NoSQL database service with automatic sharding for building cloud-native applications. Ideal for large analytical and operational workloads.
Private Cloud Storage
A storage service operated for a single organization, whether managed internally or by a third-party, and hosted either internally or externally. Ideal for businesses with high data security and control requirements.
Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
A digital storage system attached directly to the server or computer, not reachable via a network. Ideal for individual workstation storage, or for high-speed transactions like editing video or large databases.
Storage Area Network (SAN)
A high-speed network that interconnects and presents shared pools of storage devices to multiple servers. Ideal for complex business transactions and systems with large data storage needs.
