Remote infrastructure that stores data on provider-managed servers accessible through a network.
Cloud storage supplies the underlying capacity used by backup, synchronization, archiving, application, and media-delivery services. Customers can access it through APIs, software integrations, command-line tools, or management interfaces.
Providers typically charge according to the amount of data stored and, in some cases, the data transferred into or out of the service. Cloud storage can scale without requiring customers to purchase and maintain their own physical storage hardware.
