Cloud and Object storage are in your future, what are some questions?

IMHO there is no doubt that cloud and object storage are in your future, what are some questions?

Granted, what type of cloud and object storage or service along with for work or entertainment are some questions.

Likewise, what are your cloud and object storage concerns (assuming you already have heard the benefits)?

Some other questions include when, where for different applications workload needs, as well as how and with what among others.

Keep in mind that there are many aspects to cloud storage and they are not all object, likewise, there are many facets to object storage.

Recently I did a piece over at InfoStor titled Cloud Storage Concerns, Considerations and Trends that looks at the above among other items including:

• Is cloud storage cheaper than traditional storage?
• How do you access cloud object storage from legacy block and file applications?
• How do you implement on-site cloud storage?
• Is enterprise file sync and share (EFSS) safe and secure?
• Does cloud storage need to be backed up and protected?
• What geographic location requirements or regulations apply to you?

When it comes to cloud computing and, in particular, cloud storage, context matters. Conversations are necessary to discuss concerns, as well as discuss various considerations, options and alternatives. People often ask me questions about the best cloud storage to use, concerns about privacy, security, performance and cost.

Some of the most common cloud conversations topics involve context :

• Public, private or hybrid cloud; turnkey subscription service or do it yourself (DIY)?
• Storage, compute server, networking, applications or development tools?
• Storage application such as file sync and share like Dropbox?
• Storage resources such as table, queues, objects, file or block?
• Storage for applications in the cloud, on-site or hybrid?
