Public cloud storage services are cost-effective and offer scalability, reliability and performance benefits. Using public cloud storage services lets organizations offload management tasks and the costs associated with supporting physical hardware to an external provider. An organization's data is stored in the provider's data center and the provider manages and maintains all facets of the data center, including power, cooling and server maintenance. As a result, organizations don't have to worry about archive planning, implementing security practices or conducting resource planning for future data growth.
