With all the data that organizations produce and collect these days, it would be a significant undertaking to maintain the huge IT infrastructure required. Luckily, organizations now have the option to store their Big Data in the cloud.

For organizations who are just transitioning to cloud storage, it may be difficult to decide which cloud storage company is best for your business.  Let’s take a look at the 6 biggest Big Data cloud storage providers available today.

Alibaba Cloud

Because of the “Big 3” cloud storage services, you may have never heard of Alibaba Cloud (formerly Aliyun). Alibaba is currently the most popular Big Data storage provider in China and it has a large user base across Asia. Just like the big U.S.-based platforms, Alibaba provides users with the same kind of AI, analytics and security tools. Alibaba offers competitive pricing for both monthly subscriptions and pay-as-you-go options.

Amazon Web Services S3

In 2006, Amazon launched a platform-as-a-service and practically every cloud storage and cloud computing company that has launched since has used it as a model. That same year, Amazon also released Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2), which provides virtualized data-processing capable of being scaled up or down quickly as needed.

Google Cloud Storage

Google built its cloud storage platform with the very same tech, including its scalability capabilities and reliability, used to power YouTube and Google Search. Additionally, Google offers several price points for various datasets to assist in creating plans that help fit every size business get the storage they need.

Google cloud storage also allows organizations the option to choose where in the world their data is stored. This choice will affect data access times, which can help reduce the cost of storing data in places where it isn’t needed.

IBM Cloud

Like other Big Data storage companies, IBM has numerous data lake solutions to offer, which allows businesses to pick one that best fits their company’s needs. Regardless of the option chosen, they are all centralized around IBM Cloud (previously known as Bluemix). IBM’s offerings range from free for a small amount of data and scale up to larger amounts of data.

Microsoft Azure Data Lake

Microsoft’s answer to AWS may have launched in 2010, but it has quickly blossomed to a full suite offering organizations all the tools and services needed to handle large datasets and allow a company to make all its operations cloud-based.

Although AWS may be the model for Big Data services, Microsoft is no stranger to large-scale processing and analytics, with Office 360, Skype and Xbox under their belt.

Oracle Cloud

Oracle Cloud boasts strong security features, which include encryption of data sets in real-time. In addition to offering storage options that are both flexible and scalable, Oracle also has a powerful suite of cloud-based data processing and analytics.
