Pilvesäilitus

Pilvesäilitus, also known as cloud storage, refers to a model of computer data storage in which digital data is stored in logical pools, the physical storage spans multiple servers (sometimes in geographically dispersed data centers), and the physical environment is typically owned and managed by a hosting company. This cloud storage service is accessed through the internet, often referred to as the "cloud."

Users interact with cloud storage through applications or software that handle the data. This allows for the remote storage and retrieval of digital information, such as documents, images, videos, and application data. Instead of storing data on local hard drives or personal servers, users can upload and access their files from any device with an internet connection.

The benefits of pilvesäilitus include scalability, accessibility, and often cost-effectiveness compared to managing on-premises storage infrastructure. Data is typically backed up and redundantly stored across multiple locations, enhancing data security and availability. Various providers offer different service tiers, pricing models, and features, catering to individual and business needs. Common examples of cloud storage services include services from major technology companies that allow users to store and synchronize files across devices and collaborate with others.
