cloud storage

With for most emerging technologies, the hype is bigger than the reality. A welcome exception is cloud storage, which is enabling many organizations to achieve major economies of scale and greater control of growing data volumes. A Commvault user survey of 535 executives reveals that more than half are looking at cloud storage.

In today’s business climate, it no longer makes sense for IT organizations to rely on traditional methods of managing information growth. In 2010, I anticipate a stronger push for more services and applications in cloud computing due to the cost effectiveness and scalability such solutions can provide if deployed effectively.
