Overview

Product Information on Cloud Storage

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Cloud Storage?

Cloud Storage is a software that enables users to store, manage, and access data on remote servers. The software provides scalable object storage for a wide range of data types, supporting both structured and unstructured data. It allows for data uploading, retrieval, backup, and archiving, and integrates with other applications and services for analytics and processing purposes. Cloud Storage supports features such as data versioning, access control, and lifecycle management, helping businesses ensure data availability and durability while addressing challenges related to data scalability, security, and disaster recovery.

Cloud Storage Pricing

Cloud Storage software uses a tiered pricing model based on the amount of data stored and the type of storage class selected, such as standard, nearline, coldline, or archive. The software also charges for network usage and operations performed, with pricing varying depending on data retrieval and access frequency. Discounts may be available for committed usage or higher volumes of data stored.
