2. Why Cloud Computing ?
Cloud Computing platforms provides easy access to
a company’s high-performance computing and
storage infrastructure through web services.
Cloud Computing platforms provides:
1) Massive Scalability
2) 99.999% Reliability
3) High Performance
4) Specifiable Configurability
Low Cost.

4. Introduction
With Cloud storage, data is stored on multiple servers,
rather than on the dedicated servers used in
traditional networked data storage.
Data is stored on virtual servers from the users point of
view and seems like it has been stored to a particular
place, but it isn’t.
The user’s data could be stored on any one or more of
the computers used to create the cloud.
The actual storage location may even differ from day to
day or even minute to minute, as the cloud
dynamically manages available storage space.

10. Cloud Storage Reference Model
Storage to be provided on demand, drawn from a pool
of resources.
Client will be able to discover the capabilities of the
cloud storage offering and use this model to manage
containers and the data that is placed in them.
Cloud Data Management Interface (CDMI) is the
functional interface that applications will use to create,
retrieve, update and delete data elements from the
cloud.

11. This interface is also used by
Administrative Apps
Management Apps to manage containers, accounts,
security access and monitoring/billing information.
The capabilities of the underlying storage and data
services are exposed so that clients can understand the
offering.

13. Advantages
1. Ease of Management
The maintenance of the s/w, h/w and general
infrastructure to support storage is drastically
simplified in the cloud.
2. Cost Effectiveness
3. Lower Impact Outages and Upgrades
4. Disaster Preparedness
Disaster Recovery.
5. Simplified Planning.
Flexible and provide storage as needed.

15. Conclusion
Cloud Storage with a great deal of promise, aren’t
designed to be high performing file systems but rather
extremely scalable, easy to manage storage systems.
Thanks to Data Replication, which makes Storage
approach in cloud more Scalable.
