 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.

 Threats to Cloud Security.   Cloud computing is on the rise and becoming popular in the public and business enterprises sector. Many CSPs (Cloud Service Providers) like, Microsoft Azure, AWS (Amazon Web Service), and GCP (Google Cloud Platform) are offering their clients and users the opportunity to migrate the operations to the cloud by subscribing services () that fits their operation needs. There are many activities involved with migrating to the cloud that are important for the public and business enterprises to understand before making such leap (migrate). Speaking of migrating, the term security is one of the most critical aspects that concerns cybersecurity team members, and all proper measures must be taken seriously. The uprising of cyber threats to cloud computing increases by the day just as cloud computing becomes more and more popular. The following are lists of threats to cloud security: 1.       Data Breach - regardless o...

 Week One: Entry Blog. Hello to all, my name is Edward Cooper, and I was born and raised in Monrovia, Liberia, Africa. I came to the United States, November of 1996, and I reside in the beautiful state of New Jersey. I love working with different types of technologies and I just got through building a brand-new Personal Computer last month as I was pursuing my certification in Comp & Network Security Fund (CompTIA Security+), and Comp & Hardware and Software Mgmt. (CompTIA A+). I am currently taking a class in both Computer Server Environments (CompTIA Server+), and Network Mgmt. & Infrastructure (CompTIA Network+). Other than Windows Server that I have had some experiences (installed and configured) working with, I have not had experience with other vendors’ server platforms.   Speaking of server, I have some experience when it come to computer networking and I was able to build a home network (LAN) with four computers, Windows server, routers hubs, and a sw...

 Week Six: Internet Protocol version Six (IPv6). This week six topic focused on the fundamental concepts of Internet Protocol version six (IPv6), describing IPv6 practices, and the implementation of Pv6 in a Transmission Control Protocol/ Interprotocol (TCP/IP) network design. The Internet Protocol version four (IPv4) was developed for the purpose of assigning Internet Protocol addresses. IPv4 was developed to handled IP addresses for the foreseeable future, unfortunately, it turned out that wasn’t the case as the traffic (more computers became available in homes and smaller businesses) on the air wave begin too much to handle.  The IPv6 was developed as the replacement for IPv4. IPv6 comes with tremendous benefits that IPv4 didn’t had, and one of those benefits that IPv6 come with has to do with its pool of unlimitedly IP address. IPv4 is stay in used at this current moment as IPv6 translation begin slowly into replacing IPv4. There is no comparison whatsoever between IPv4 an...
