Cloud storage is a model of networked enterprise storage where data is stored not only

in the user's computer, but in virtualized pools of storage which are generally hosted by

third parties, too. Hosting companies operate large data centers, and people who require

their data to be hosted buy or lease storage capacity from them. The data center operators,

in the background, virtualize the resources according to the requirements of the customer

and expose them as storage pools, which the customers can themselves use to store files or

data objects. Physically, the resource may span across multiple servers. The safety of the

files depends upon the hosting websites.
