Overview

Storage drivers are software components or modules that facilitate communication between a computer system and different storage devices, including physical and virtual storage. These drivers manage data transfers, read and write data to storage devices, and ensure compatibility between the operating system and the storage hardware.

For example, if you're using a cloud storage service like Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, or Google Cloud Storage, storage drivers are used to establish the connection between your applications and the cloud storage infrastructure. These drivers abstract the underlying complexities of interacting with the cloud storage APIs, making it easier for your applications to read, write, and manage data in the cloud.

Each storage driver is engineered with a strong focus on data protection, offering secure and efficient access to your data resources, regardless of their location. They uphold stringent data security measures, giving you the trust and confidence to safely perform your data operations.

Context of Cloud Integration

In the context of cloud integration, storage drivers become an essential component because they ensure that your integrated systems can seamlessly access and manipulate data in the cloud. They bridge the gap between your application's requests for data and the actual data storage in the cloud.
