10 years ago cloud storage was merely a hopeful puff of smoke in the skies above of Amazon Web Services. Roll forward to 2011 and over 762 billion objects are now stored online as part of their online cloud storage service. That is a reported increase of 192% year-over-year since 2006.
Cloud storage is easily is one of the fastest growing online industries around at the moment. The number of companies providing this service is quite simply skyrocketing year on year. Current providers leading the way include MyPC Backup, Mozy and Sugarsync, but with a market in so much demand and with so much potential these could change at any moment.
The concept of cloud storage is almost as attractive as lying in a park, looking up on a sunny day. Being able to access all your files, to any device anywhere in the world suddenly simplifies life in a way previously unthought-of. Cloud storage isn’t going away, if anything I think give it another 10 years, 5 maybe and it will become the norm. Home users and businesses alike will upload all their files not only as a backup but as a means of being able to access and share them 24/7, 365 days a year, around the globe.
