• Cloud Storage has been designed for at least 99.999999999% annual durability, or 11 nines. Meaning, even with one billion objects, you would likely go a hundred years without losing a single one!

“ Hardware will fail all the time—because it does! But that doesn’t mean durability has to suffer.”

Amazon uses a 45-foot long ruggedized shipping container called Snowmobile to transfer 100PBs of data if a customer chooses to migrate from on-premise to cloud. Where on-premise platforms struggle, cloud thrives. Cloud computing enables on-demand scaling by allowing users to select custom environments for their processing needs. This allows them to focus more on their data applications and less on the underlying infrastructure. But moving to the cloud is not straightforward. For those who use cloud, optimising the processing environments to understand workload characteristics is still a challenge.
