Is Cloud Storage Getting Hijacked?: Page 2 of 2

I'm taking a bit of a break from the dedupe discussion to wrap up a few re-interviews and to time the continuation of the series with a upcoming special feature on deduplication that Network Computing will be running. In the meantime let's see if we can get this whole cloud storage thing sorted out. I had a supplier suggest to me the other day that the term cloud storage is getting hijacked. I disagree.

In the end cloud storage is what the beholder needs it to be. It likely
will have capabilities like being able to be used or provided on a pay
per use basis and also have scalability and ease of use functionality,
but trying to isolate a single definition is a waste of time
for vendors. Identify how your solution can best solve a problem that a
specific segment of the user community is experiencing and then getting
that message to them is a better investment of your time.
