 Week 10 Blog: Cloud Storage

 

Regardless of whether we are working in the cloud or on-prem, managing enterprise-scale network, working on a research document on our home computer, we are in the loop of creating, saving, and accessing data. Data is anything created and saved on a storage device through electronic device (computer). You may ask yourself why IT exists? The simple will be, IT exists to solve problems, and to manage data. Companies that invest well in their IT infrastructure outweigh those in their respective industries that don’t. Nearly every business decision hinges on the quality of data made available to decision makers (West, 2023, p. 303).

That said, File, Block, and Object storage play important roles in the data storage process. Each storage contributes and is efficient in their respective environments if utilized accordingly. Fully acknowledging the critical role that data plays in business clearly state the need for implementing effective data storage methodologies. Organizations are destroyed due to a variety of aspects, and data being compromised is one of those aspects. Therefore, the responsibility of any IT professionals is to fully be aware of data security by implementing the proper data storage methodologies that will make the data available and accessible, most importantly, secured as organizations migrate their data center into the cloud.

There are a variety of workloads that rely heavily on data. Speaking of workloads, “A CRM (customer relationship management) application” can be program to draws from “data storage in a database” an example could SQL Server database. Media files, such as high-resolution images and videos, are large data files that take up larger space than other files services. In business, employees and staff members create a variety of personal and work-related documents, spreadsheets, and presentations that can be stored on their workstations or on the company network file sharing system for everyone to use. For all these data to become available and accessible op-prem or off prem, they must all be storage in the cloud. Some examples of data stored in the cloud are the following: office and media files, applications, websites, logs, and database.
