With cloud storage solutions, data are stored in a data processing center on several separate servers. All data are stored redundantly in various systems. If one storage system fails, this has no effect on the data stored in the cloud. The availability of the data is thus guaranteed and represents an additional advantage compared to conventional in-house solutions.
Thanks to their freely scalable scope of use, cloud storage solutions are also suitable for sudden increases in storage needs or the short-term bridging of a lack of storage capacity (backup leverage) within the internal network.
