Cloud Storage Technology - An Overview

Welcome to the "Cloud Storage Technology" section of the ParaScale Library. This section is designed to provide users with a technology view of Cloud Storage and how it compares to other storage offerings in the marketplace. In this section we will look at a number of factors including:

What types of data are a good fit for Cloud Storage
Data types where cloud storage is a good choice, and where it is not
Traditional NAS offerings versus cloud storage
Clustered file system and NAS offerings versus cloud storage
Workloads and access patterns that are a good fit for cloud storage
