Cloud storage isn’t just a technical decision—it’s a strategic one that shapes your AI readiness, resilience, and bottom line.

In this jam-packed episode of TechDaily.ai, we unpack the real-world tradeoffs between block, object, and file storage—and how to use each to your advantage. Whether you're scaling an AI workload, managing sensitive data, or just trying to keep cloud costs from spiraling, this episode gives you the insight you need.

What you’ll learn:

• How object storage powers AI and analytics (and where costs can sneak up)
• Why block storage is the hidden backbone of high-performance apps
• When file storage still wins (and how to keep it cost-effective)
• Real examples of companies saving big—like $600K with GP3 volumes
• Tactical tips for cost optimization, storage tiering, and lifecycle management
• The critical link between storage strategy, cybersecurity, and AI-readiness
• Why only 1 in 5 organizations are truly “AI data-ready” (and how to fix it)

Plus: We spotlight one of the most overlooked security risks in cloud storage—lack of immutability—and why that could be your biggest vulnerability.
