- One can access the data from any location that has internet access
- One can allow other people to access the data i.e. file sharing is possible
- one can use it as a backup
Cloud Storage Market Overview :
With the amount of data expanding (Big Data)because of the emergence of digital trend,organizations face the challenge of storing the data.Cloud storage plays the role a lifesaver in such a situation. The cloud storage market is expected to experience a high growth in the coming years due to the growth of Big data.
Global private Cloud market is expected to grow from $5.6 billion in 2012 to $46.8 billion by 2018, at an estimated CAGR of 40.2%. North America commanded the largest share; i.e. 60% of the overall Cloud Storage market in 2012 at $3.4 billion; and is expected to reach $21.8 billion by 2018, at a CAGR of 33.8% from 2013 to 2018.
