👉 Outer computing, also known as outer storage or outer data management, refers to the layer of infrastructure responsible for managing and storing the data outside of the application or system processes. This includes databases, file systems, and other storage solutions that provide persistent data storage and retrieval capabilities. Outer computing is crucial for ensuring data availability, integrity, and scalability, as it separates the storage concerns from the application logic, allowing for more flexible and efficient data management. It typically involves managing data across multiple servers, handling data replication, backups, and disaster recovery, and often leveraging technologies like distributed databases, object storage, and cloud storage services to meet varying performance and availability requirements.
