Cloud Backup & Storage

Cloud storage/backup is a service that allows you to store information on a virtual disk accessible to you or those that you choose to share it with, via the internet. You can easily access it, scan it and it’s very reliable, much more so than any local disk backup solution.

You can use cloud storage for many things, including but not limited to:

1. Backups of your documents, photos and other data

2. As a file repository to share with other users

3. As one infrastructure component of applications that you develop to serve your customers

There are two ways you can use or control your cloud storage, each with slightly different purposes:

1. Web Control Panel: using IT Company USA’s Control Panel with a browser, connected to your account, you can upload or download files, define access rights, get reports and perform other operations.

2. Restful API: the Application Programming Interface is accessible for your applications to control your cloud storage, the same way you would via the Web Control Panel, which is very useful for auto-scaling of your applications depending on demand.

The usage of cloud storage is based on the GB (gigabytes) that your data occupies and the GB per month of traffic generated by your data, from the cloud storage node to the internet (simply put, the data that you or those that you’ve shared files with ; download from the Cloud Storage buckets). You can check the pricing at the cloud storage pricing page. The calculation of your cost of using Cloud Storage will be done at the end of each month and charged according to the billing preferences you defined in your account.

The data on your cloud storage is physically stored on one of IT Company USA’s nodes, in one datacenter in your country. Your data is kept safe and not lost if any individual drive fails because of high redundancy levels of the storage nodes in which it resides and the data replication built into the cloud storage service.
