ABSTRACT

Cloud Storage is probably the most familiar part of the Cloud for most people. Th e concept of a fi le is easy for most people to grasp-whether this means a song from an album, a digital photograph, or a document of some type. Traditionally such fi les were stored on “local storage”—a person’s own computer (or a disk attached to that computer), but since the early days of Cloud Computing there has been some form of Cloud Storage, whether in the form of attachments in webmail, documents in Google Docs, or images in Flickr.
