Good that someone finally publicized this. The IT folks at my organization has joked for years that it is cheap to get data into 3rd party cloud, but getting back out will cost more than a bit. The other cost to consider is the same thing that killed the data center management concept, and that is that you don't control the ongoing costs. It may be cheap to store your data in cloud today, but the cost increases over time are not in your control. At what point does that cost exceed what it would cost to host your data on your own hardware. Of course, then you have the egress costs at that point as well. And none of this discusses the complexity of using cloud servers (IaaS, PaaS) and the challenges increased communication path complexity bring.

Cloud services are designed to lock you in and make switching to a competitor (or to a self hosted solution) as difficult as possible. That way many customers will rather keep paying for the cloud service than going through the hustle and headache of moving their data somewhere else. Switching cloud providers should be as easy as switching your phone plan to a different provider.

That said I've been in IT a long time and would rather any mistakes be my fault and localized to my NAS/LAN than trusting a cloud provider. The up front cost is higher and maintenance is all on me but I can live with that.

Great video and spot on, potentially in a way that may be beyond the scope of this video. Working with Microsoft Azure for 10 years I may shine some light on this concept not limited to Microsoft Azure only but other cloud vendors as well. Cloud data egress is a small aspect of the one thing that is solely missed in many Cloud Adoption Frameworks: leaving the cloud. Great documentation and strategies are available that can help move or migrate to the cloud and use the services available not limited to storage only. Almost no documentation is available for an exit strategy. I always urge organizations to have an exit strategy available to avoid turning the cloud journey into a 'Hotel California' experience. And yes, you will pay for using storage one way or another. Either by expensive storage with low egress costs (a.k.a 'hot' storage) or cheap storage with high egress costs (a.k.a. ' cold' storage). Egress costs apply to ANY data 'leaving' the cloud. Hope this helps!

Cloud; to me it is like blowing smoke... (pun intended) This particular topic is about what you do not have direct control over, can, at times, bite you in the back. Either the costs, limited abilities, sometimes even indeed sanctions to you. To me it makes much more sense to have another NAS and use that as my cold-storage. I see this scheme as some comparable level of leasing; you believe you are having a great deal but when you do the math in full (such as egress, indeed) you learn it will cost you a lot of money.

I couldn't afford another equivalent storage solution so Asustor support could restore the data to another drive. Thankfully, I backed everything up to the cloud. I wiped the NAS and started fresh BUT because I don't want to pay to download literally terabytes of data, I'm leaving all that data till a later time when budget allows me to grab it all back. Definitely, going to put priority on a separate NAS solution to replace the cloud backup.

Cloud storage should be part of a 3-2-1 backup strategy as the final insurance against disaster recovery eg: Like Malware, fire, flood, theft , malicious act that takes out your two local copies. Even then you don't need to restore it all in one hit to recover, prioritize the data recovery. If you are relocating to another provider then you don't need to recover anything, upload your existing local data backup then and then delete data from the old cloud provider. Not sure to many businesses/people put all their data in the cloud, typically what is to important to lose or can't be long term archived. Remember a NAS on its own isn't a backup.

@javaman2883 16 күн бұрын
While I used to agree that cloud is part of 3-2-1, not anymore. Say a person looses their two copies at home, they go to download their 5TB of data from the cloud, then get hit with $16,000 charge for downloading. Or the company blocks their download at 50GB and holds the rest hostage untill the home user coughs up the $$$. Often people are needing their cloud backup after a house fire, they lost everything, insurance is hagling them over payments for 6 months, meanwhile they are staying in hotels or with friends because they still owe mortgage payments on their non-existant house, and the cloud provider wants $$$. I know big business loved to kick people whenever they fall down, but its frustrating.

I have my backup NAS in garage about 60ft away from the house so unless it's a massive gas explosion or if some breaks into the garage and house at the same time I should be safe . When I went on holiday I hide my drives from the NAS , and made a copy of the stuff I could get back . The problem with NASs is that you store I lot of junk , eg backup of laptops etc which have died years ago , or full backup of a virused machine hoping to restored it after but finish doing a nuke and start again, and stuff you have downloaded for windows xp when that was they main system in 2006.

That stated, most companies could not afford or take the risks involved in transitioning their company ecosystem between clouds. Seems kind of scary actually.

First 35 seconds so annoying, in the sense apparently these posts by people seem to fail to understand that a NAS is literally a server. In that a server provides some sort of service for clients. Could be acting as a file server. A web server. A cloud server. A database server. Or some or all of the above. My NAS can act as a web server, cloud server, file server, and many more applications. It's a NAS. But it's literally a server, it's primary function is to provide services for a client, in my case, mainly my desktop PC. A NAS is all or partly targeted for being a file server, but as a typical NAS is running Linux, it often does more than that. Of course your video explains a lot of this. But IMO, the main point is...you don't normally directly use your NAS in the way you would directly use your laptop, desktop, tablet, etc...because it's a server ( in fact, I can telnet into my NAS, and for all I know, edit and compiler C++ using vi...but I don't)

One more point, is WHY DOES IT NEED TO RUN VMs to be a server?! Ok, look, I just turned 59, like last week. Been a software professional for pretty much my whole adult life. So I have seen a lot of computing hardware, and worked with a lot of computing hardware. And in my experience...the definition of server is .... "A computer system whose raison d'etre is to provide client computers one or more services, and to make this clearer, it's primary role is not direct use by users, but indirect use via the services it provides".

Technically yes you are correct, a NAS is a general computing device. You can do whatever you want with it. But the name implies its primary focus and design - Network Attached Storage. They usually are underpowered devices designed with a larger bay number for bulk storage of files. Meant to be a cheaper way of having readily available storage. They aren't necessarily performance orientated. Versus a server which has a more powerful and capable processor and you can get them with a large number of bays with redundancy and oodles of performance. You can add in a SAN to separate storage from the compute. My washing machine is a "server" that offers a service for me to get notifications when its done washing and if I could modify it, I am sure I could get it to do stuff it was never designed for.

A nas is a nas, use it as a nas. Don't use other apps on your nas it's another point of failure in the aspect of security, use a nas as storage only..

Egress speed/cost don't mean much when you have lost all your local data. That's why it makes much more sense to use cloud providers for backup/archive purposes only (preferably encrypted before upload). It is some sort of insurance: you store data in the cloud for cheap and you hope that you will never be needing to restore lost data from there. Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive storage is the paramount of this idea. Very cheap storage fee and quite expensive egress (more than that, you need to wait several days before you can download data after the request). You upload and store your backup and you will never need to restore. Or restore once i a lifetime when something serious (God forbid) happens with data (is stolen with hardware or destroyed by a disaster)

That one day of restore will erase all the savings you made till then. Also in your case you would still need to run on-premise backup machines, so why not run another machine which does the same job as AWS S3 Glacier ?

Oh also don't forget Cloud providers don't make any claims with respect to your data and it 100% being protected. Eg if it was to be corrupted or if a mistake caused data loss.

And also remember that cloud is just somebody else's computer

The cloud for data storage or backup is a terrible idea. I'll use high-end Samsung phones and Apple iPhones as an example. Neither of these supports microSD slots and instead asks you to use the cloud. The cloud is slower than a microSD card. It costs more in monthly payments and bandwidth charges than microSD cards. The cloud and internal memory are less secure than microSD cards (if you only carry the cards you need that day). Encryption is never as good as not giving others (FBI, NSA, local police, hackers, etc.) access to the data in the first place.

Everything except Backblaze is just obscenely overpriced. Backblaze is just regular overpriced. As in your own setup amortizes within about 2-3 years. But Google for example, easily within 12 months including energy and all the recommended backupsystems. Used 12 bay Server with all required hardware to operate: 430 4 non helium filles no shenanigans 10TB Enterprise disks for a ~27TB RAID5: 800

wow you have some way out scenarios going on there......If I was in Dubai doing a video promo dont think I would be dumb enough to put all that video in the cargo hold on the plane.......fyi not everyone is a youtube creator and needs to keep around tbs tbs of data.....heres a thought....delete some stuff.

Nope...gonna need more on that. Aside from capping D/L to a limit per month, and have X months to download everything..you will still hit egress limits on larger capacity clouds

While your argument is entirely correct, your examples are rubbish (to be honest). If you use cloudstorage to store 'desaster recovery data' your financial calculation MUST foresee to at least once recover that data ... or else, how will you know that it works at all (if you never tried it). So, the cost for this cannot come as a surprise to you. You either accepted it, when you made the decision to go for the cloud, or your mistake already happened when you did your calculation. If you want to leave the cloud, you do NOT cancel your contract all in a sudden. You cancel, when you either have brought your data back home, or when this process is on the way and the end can already be seen. What you do NOT do is to cancel and then find out, that the remaining time of the contract is not enough to copy back your data. The usual process would be to stop uploading new data to the cloud and start retreiving that much data per timeunit as your contract allows .... and then, near the end of this process, cancel the contract. So, your video has a valid core of facts and arguments, however, your examples aren't well thought through.

I think you missed one of the main points of the video. Notwithstanding that incremental migration of cloud data was covered in the 3rd part of the video, the real point here is that a lot of cloud users DON'T factor in egress. Highlighting ways to negate this impact are all perfectly valid, as well as highlighting that users SHOULD have factored this in on day 1 implementation. However the reality is that A LOT of users who have been sitting on cloud this past decade DON'T. That's the whole point. People who search for this video are either doing so because 1) they are about to sign up for a large scale cloud and are dismantling the T&C... or... unfortunately, because they just realised they are about to have a massively download penalty, or just received one and are querying. I agree with your points that these can be avoided at the outset with careful considerable and planning, but for many, this is closing the stable door after the horse has legged it! As mentioned, this video was made BECAUSE I have been addressing increasing support calls on users hitting this during cloud migration

@@nascompares Point taken! Probably I do not have the background (or lack of that) of the people you intended this video for. I am part of a developement and maintainance team that operates a distributed platform on (behalf of our customer) that has a monthly data throughput of about 400TB, much of which needs to be stored for a timespan of about 4-8 weeks. On a regular bases we go through a discussion with our customer whether or not migrating the services from 'on-premise-hosted' to 'cloud-hosted' could be advantages (financial or otherwise) ... but in the end its almost always the cost to access data in the cloud from outside the cloud that kills such ideas.

Fair play mad. You took my comment 100x better than I expected. I totally see your points and position too! Jesus, why can't every interaction on the web be like this! Have a fantastic week
