Once you cut through all the hype surrounding the benefits of Cloud Storage, specifically the economics of Public Cloud Storage, it becomes clear that there are use cases that do shine.
At the heart of the analysis are tried and true factors effecting storage costs like OPEX and CAPEX, deduplication, thin provisioning, compression, utilization, TCO, ROI, Business Opportunity costs (downtime, business recovery, business restart), etc.
Data Storage may be cheap and getting cheaper, but storing less data is always cheaper than storing more, and cutting costs – both operational and capital – is still critical.
