- 6. “I get that the cloud is coming and one day we‟ll all be pushed to keep most of our stuff in the „sky.‟ Just look at Apple‟s new MacBook Air line. The largest internal flash memory available is 256 gigabytes. In this digital age that‟s likely not enough to hold most user‟s current content. And as more (read: all) computers move to flash memory eventually, the cloud will become the offsite storage vessel for us all.” … Brian Sullivan, CNBC Source: http://www.cnbc.com/id/44892279

- Public cloudPublic cloud describes cloud computing in the traditional mainstream sense, whereby resources are dynamically provisioned to the general public on a fine-grained, self-service basis over the Internet, via web applications/web services, from an off-site third-party provider who bills on a fine-grained utility computing basis.[13][edit]Community cloudCommunity cloud shares infrastructure between several organizations from a specific community with common concerns (security, compliance, jurisdiction, etc.), whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally. The costs are spread over fewer users than a public cloud (but more than a private cloud), so only some of the benefits of cloud computing are realised.[43][edit]Hybrid cloudHybrid cloud is a composition of two or more clouds (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together, offering the benefits of multiple deployment models.[43][edit]Private cloudPrivate cloud is infrastructure operated solely for a single organization, whether managed internally or by a third-party and hosted internally or externally.[43]They have attracted criticism because users "still have to buy, build, and manage them" and thus do not benefit from lower up-front capital costs and less hands-on management,[44]essentially "[lacking] the economic model that makes cloud computing such an intriguing concept".[45][46]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing#Community_cloud
- - Photo Stream album that holds a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos. iCloud stores new photos for 30 days
- Box:In addition to storing files, Box provides a number of applications, like Web Documents and Zoho, an online productivity suite. Box also offers a solid app for the iPad and iPhone, which provides much of the service’s functionality on the go. Users can also connect to an Apple-Air-Print-enabled printer for wireless printing.Out of all the sites, Box is easily one of the most user-friendly, especially for those who aren’t as familiar with this type of service.The lowdown: Free 5GB, fast uploads, simple functionality, well-designed site
- Each of Apple, Amazon and Google is offering a pretty amazing deal for storing your digital music. From zero to $25 per year, the pricing is almost irrelevant considering how much storage you get. If you have a decent music collection, you're talking about archiving 50 GB worth of music at the least.There are tradeoffs with each of the three services. With Amazon or Google, you need to upload all of your music - which will likely be a big bandwidth and time hog. Apple's iTunes Match gets around that pain point by "matching" songs you have with songs on its servers. That's a very compelling advantage to iTunes Match.
- heavily transactional, are I/O sensitive or involve sensitive data, are not advisable to go shift into a cloud environment.
