Cloud Storage Cynics

To our great surprise and question, some people still believe that cloud storage is not for them and that they could benefit more from local storage methods, so what are their reasons and where are they going wrong? Firstly, most people who choose not to use cloud storage do so because they worry about the security aspects, saying that you should never hand over the safety of your data into the hands of another company. Clearly these people haven’t heard of the immense security features which cloud storage vendors are implementing these days combating these exact worries. There is file encryption to protect any data being both transferred and stored, redundant hardware to ensure now downtime, and also mirrored data centers to combat cloud storage data center disaster. Secondly some cynics say that cloud storage is overpriced, pointing out that you can pick up 24TB of local storage for around $7000. These people also must not have heard about the unlimited cloud storage packages which cost less than $10/month, quite clearly a lot cheaper and offering more data storage space. It seems that the cloud storage critics haven’t really done their homework when it comes down to it – it’s a good job we’re here to help!
