Why Corporate Cloud Storage Doesn't Add Up

snydeq writes "Deep End's Paul Venezia sees few business IT situations that could make good use of full cloud storage services, outside of startups. 'As IT continues in a zigzag path of figuring out what to do with this "cloud" stuff, it seems that some companies are getting ahead of themselves. In particular, the concept of outsourcing storage to a cloud provider puzzles me. I can see some benefits in other cloud services (though I still find the trust aspect difficult to reconcile), but full-on cloud storage offerings don't make sense outside of some rare circumstances.'"

The cloud is the answer to EVERYTHING.

Despite data crystallization, sync, security and all of the usual complaints, it will solve everything and make toast, too!

so others can say "but, ah! your cloud is not the real cloud, mine is".

Nobody takes them cirrusly.
