Techworld.com - The downside of the cloud: "Saving work and expense is a key reason why cloud services are expected to grow in the next few years. Last year, 4 percent of worldwide IT spending went to cloud services, and by 2012 that figure will be 9 percent, according to research company IDC. Because of its cost and space requirements, data storage is a prime candidate for using cloud technology, and IDC predicts storage will grow from 8 percent to 13 percent of cloud spending in that same period."
