The Cloud data storage market at all you know that it's a wildly growing competitive one with many players across the spectrum.
Five of the top contenders of Cloud Storage solution:
1 Amazon Web Services(AWS)
-AWS is a full cloud platform with services in computing, databases, anaylitics, applications, and deployment as well as storage.
The primary object storage system is the Amazon Simple Storage Service referred to with another acronym S3. S3 is a very straightforward but extremely robust object storage. There is no limit to quantity and individual objects can be as large as five terabytes. S3 features a high-degree of replication across multiple regional data centers. Lower cost block storage is available through Amazon's Reduced Redundancy Storage option or it's Amazon Glacier service.
-If your working with Amazon's compute service, EC2, you can also use their Elastic Block Store or EBS feature. EBS is similar to a more traditional file system while remaining highly scale-able.
-Amazon also offers a number of database options for structured data storage, Amazon RDS for relational SQL databases and Amazon DynamoDB for non-relational NoSQL.
2. The Google Cloud platform :
-It provides a similar array of, it seems, an ever-growing services that leverage their global infrastructure.
-Cloud storage is Google's primary object storage service and, like S3, offers limitless storage automatically replicating across many data centers located around the world.
-Cloud storage objects can be stored in different types of buckets with varying degrees of accessibility and price points.
Google's relational database service Cloud SQL is MySQL-based and allows you to spin up database instances as needed.
-For data appropriate to a non-relational platform, you can turn to the Schemaless Cloud DataStore.
-Also, Google recently brought online a new entry in the non-relational space called Bigtable, and this is targeted to massive data sets.
3. HP :
-HP under their HP Helion banner has two primary Cloud data storage products,
1) HP Cloud Object Storage and 2) HP Cloud Block Storage.
-Their Cloud object storage services support the open-stack standard with both Java and Ruby APIs. HP Cloud Block Storage pairs with HP Cloud compute instances but the storage persist until they are explicitly deleted.
4. Microsoft
-It also has a full-throated cloud platform, Microsoft Azure. In its storage realm, objects like documents and media files are handled by Azure Blob Storage via a REST interface and client libraries for .NET, C++, Java, Node.js, and Android among others.
-The Azure Table Storage service manages non-relational data in a NoSQL fashion complete with auto-load balancing.
-A separate service SQL Database takes care of relational data.
5. Rackspace
-It puts its Cloud data storage service under the infrastructure umbrella with three targeted offerings. Cloud Files is for data objects and boast triple replication with a simplified pricing structure.
-The Rackspace Cloud Backup service automatically employs block-level compression and 256-bit key encryption to keep your data compact and secure.
-And, if your serving apps via Rackspace Cloud Servers, there block storage service is a natural fit. Hosted on your choice of standard hard drives or solid state drives.
