New Enterprise Storage Research

PR-inside.com recently reported on technology research conducted by Ovum. According to the research, new public cloud options that are suitable for applications in customer data centers are now available. They offer additional options for disaster recovery, provide alternatives for data distribution, and may possibly reduce the burdens associated with on-site storage and backup.

"Public clouds, such as those run by Amazon and Microsoft, offer data storage services to complement their compute or data processing services. Until recently those storage services were not suitable for use with applications running in customers' own data centers. However, new services based on public cloud storage are emerging that do not suffer that drawback."
