The Cloud 4

The Cloud

Storing data in the cloud is like renting a self-storage unit: Someone else owns the facility, but you own the stuff in your unit. Unlike most self-storage facilities, you can access your stuff at any time and from any location so long as you have an Internet connection.

Cloud computing is the remote storage of digital data in data centers often shared by many users. Users can retrieve their data over a network—usually the Internet—at any time using a computer, tablet, smartphone or other network- enabled mobile device loaded with the necessary access application. Just because many people store their data in the same place doesn't mean one user can access another user's data. Instead, each user is given his oer her own partition of storage space that has security protocols to protect that space.

Amazon played a key role in the fruition of personal cloud computing, being one of the first in the industry to offer cloud storage service—"your personal hard drive in the cloud—to its retail customers. In 2006 the online retailer launched Amazon Web Services, and when it launched its Kindle Fire tablets, it began offering Amazon Cloud storage.

When you purchase digital content from Amazon.com, a copy is stored in your storage space in the Amazon Cloud. This service is free, and your storage space for your Amazon digital purchases is unlimited. You can manage your Amazon Cloud content by using the options under the Your Account tab on Amazon.com and, in the case of digital music you've purchased from the online retailer, by using the Amazon Cloud Player software.

Do not confuse the Amazon Cloud with Amazon Cloud Drive, which is the company's service that allows you to save your own personal digital files—not digital content you have purchased from Amazon—to the cloud. You cannot manage your Amazon.com digital purchases using the Amazon Cloud Drive software or mobile device app.

The list below explains the differences among the various Amazon Cloud consumer products and services.
