Cloud storage is based on highly virtualized infrastructure and is like broader cloud computing in terms of accessible interfaces, near-instant elasticity and scalability, multi-tenancy, and metered resources. Cloud storage services can be utilized from an off-premises service (Amazon S3) or deployed on-premises (ViON Capacity Services). 

Cloud storage typically refers to a hosted object storage service, but the term has broadened to include other types of data storage that are now available as a service, like a block storage.

Object storage services like Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Storage, object storage software like OpenStack Swift, object storage systems like EMC Atmos, EMC ECS and Hitachi Content Platform, and distributed storage research projects like OceanStore and VISION Cloud are all examples of storage that can be hosted and deployed with cloud storage characteristics.

Cloud storage is:

  • Made up of many distributed resources, but still acts as one, either in a federated  or a cooperative storage cloud architecture
  • Highly fault tolerant through redundancy and distribution of data
  • Highly durable through the creation of versioned copies
  • Typically eventually consistent with regard to data replicas

Cloud computing is believed to have been invented by Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider in the 1960's with his work on ARPANET to connect people and data from anywhere at any time. 

In 1983, CompuServe offered its consumer users a small amount of disk space that could be used to store any files they chose to upload. 

In 1994, AT&T launched PersonaLink Services, an online platform for personal and business communication and entrepreneurship. The storage was one of the first to be all web-based, and referenced in their commercials as, "you can think of our electronic meeting place as the cloud."  Amazon Web Services introduced their cloud storage service AWS S3 in 2006 and has gained widespread recognition and adoption as the storage supplier to popular services such as Smugmug, Dropbox, Synaptop, and Pinterest. In 2005, Box announced an online file sharing and personal cloud content management service for businesses.
