- QUOTE: Public cloud storage is infrastructure as a service (IaaS) that provides block, file and/or object storage services delivered through various protocols. The services are stand-alone, but often used in conjunction with compute and other IaaS products. The services are priced based on capacity, data transfer and/or number of requests. The services provide on-demand storage capacity and self-provisioning. Stored data exists in a multitenant environment, and users access that data through the block, network and REST protocols provided by the services.
