Difference between Cloud Storage and Local
Storage
••
•
1. Cloud Storage :
Cloud storage is the storage option in which we use remote drives to store the
data at the cloud location used by the client. It also uses the network to store
the data to an off-site server which is owned by the service provider. User
uses this storage options for capacity, bandwidth, and remote access.
Features of Cloud Storage:
• Cloud storage offers a variety of data security options.
• These storage options are easily accessible with every internet-
connected device.
• Faults are easily traceable in cloud-based storage.
• Setting up and cloud storage is way more effective and easier than
traditional ones.
2. Traditional Storage:
Traditional storage is the storage option in which we use local physical drives
to store the data at the primary location of the client. User generally uses the
disk-based hardware to store data and these are used for copying, managing,
and integrating the data to software.
Features of Traditional Storage:
• Traditional storage is fast as they do not rely on internet speeds.
• Security can be manually set up by the user in traditional storage
options.
• Users can recover the data anytime without having accessibility
issues.
• On-site backup and modification are easy.
