1. 云存储：
云存储是我们使用远程驱动器将数据存储在客户端使用的云位置的存储选项。它还使用网络将数据存储到服务提供商拥有的异地服务器。用户将此存储选项用于容量、带宽和远程访问。
云存储的特点：
- 云存储提供了多种数据安全选项。
- 每个连接互联网的设备都可以轻松访问这些存储选项。
- 在基于云的存储中，故障很容易追踪。
- 设置和云存储比传统存储更有效、更容易。
2. 传统存储：
传统存储是我们使用本地物理驱动器将数据存储在客户端的主要位置的存储选项。用户通常使用基于磁盘的硬件来存储数据，这些硬件用于将数据复制、管理和集成到软件中。
传统存储的特点：
- 传统存储速度很快，因为它们不依赖互联网速度。
- 用户可以在传统存储选项中手动设置安全性。
- 用户可以随时恢复数据，而不会出现可访问性问题。
- 现场备份和修改很容易。
云存储与传统存储的区别：
| Parameters | Cloud Storage | Traditional Storage |
|---|---|---|
| Performance | Cloud storage preform better due to using NoSQL. | Traditional storage perform a bit slow as compared to cloud. |
| Maintenance | This type of storage options are easy to maintain as you use and service provider takes care of maintenance. | This storage are heavy to manage as you need to manually run through maintenance tools. |
| Reliability | Cloud storage are highly reliable as it takes less time to get under functioning. | Traditional storage requires high initial effort and is less reliable. |
| File Sharing | Cloud storage supports file sharing dynamically as it can be shared anywhere with network access. | Traditional storage requires physical drives to share data and network is to established between both. |
| File access time | In this system file access time is dependent on the network speed. | This system has fast access time as compared to cloud storage. |
| Security | Cloud storage are more secure as it integrates with many security tools. | Traditional storage are secure with they can get attacked easily through virus and malwares. |
| Applications | Amazon Drive, Dropbox, AutoSync are some applications of cloud storage. | HHD, SSD and Pendrives are some applications of traditional storage. |
