Cloud storage allows computer users to save, maintain, manage, and backup data on remote servers. Users can access their data from many locations using various devices.

Locate three cloud storage providers. For each provider, compare the items listed below:

Where will my data be stored?

What kind of security mechanisms are in place?

How does the provider ensure data durability, reliability and availability?

How easy is it to upload my data, especially when moving large data sets into the cloud?

How easy does the provider make it to transfer data out of the storage cloud?

In your discussion posting, create three paragraphs.

Write one paragraph for each cloud storage provider.

Provide a web link for each cloud storage service.

In paragraph four, choose the cloud storage provider you would choose to store and maintain your data. Explain your choice. What are your personal criteria for selecting a cloud storage provider?
