Cloud storage provides offsite encrypted storage of data that is accessible from any device with an internet connection. It offers protection from data loss through multiple backups and recovery. There are two types - with online backup, the software is provided and managed by the cloud provider, while infrastructure as a service provides the hardware and software platform that users can control. Cloud storage capacity and use is anticipated to grow dramatically in the coming years as more users and devices access data remotely.
