With Amazon’s announcement about the Kindle Textbook Rental program, it makes one wonder how many basement hackers are gearing up to swipe content and begin a new career. It isn’t that I don’t think it is a good idea, I think it is a great idea. Besides the whole saving a tree benefit, textbook costs are a big black hole of which you never get a return. Even reselling books is pennies on the dollar and usually you are stuck with them. Almost everyone has a box of textbooks tucked away in their storage area because you just can’t stand the thought of tossing thousands of dollars worth of books. Instead, you move them from location to location, thinking someday you will find someone who can use them.

The Future of Cloud Technology

By Melody Smith|July 7th, 2011|metadata, News, storage|Comments Off on The Future of Cloud Technology

Along with the amount of data, the monetary investment in digital technology to capture and store that data has grown relentlessly in the past decade. And it doesn’t appear to be slowing down any. Leading the “shopping spree’ in the technology world will be cloud computing. While cloud computing accounts for less than 2% of IT spending today, an EMC-sponsored IDC Digital Universe study estimates that by 2015 nearly 20% of the information will be "touched" by cloud computing service providers — meaning that somewhere in a byte's journey from originator to disposal it will be stored or processed in a cloud.
