Announcement posted by iCloud Inc 07 Dec 2011

Seamless, Affordable, On-demand Anywhere Access for Home and Business

iCloud is helping individuals and companies look to the Cloud with their all-in-one Terabyte iCloudDrive service. Three years ago, people would look with a blank stare when there was talk about cloud. Today, customers 'get' cloud and they are looking for ways to get started. There is great opportunity in the marketplace as consumers are now ready to fully embrace the cloud. Early adopters provided tremendous positive feedback, the economy demands efficiency and cost savings and the flexibility changes how businesses are run leading to a marketplace that is mobile.

Today in the Cloud space, a Gigabyte (GB) is the most common term used to describe the size of a drive; the amount of space available for you to store your digital information. A terabyte (TB) is a multiple of 1024 GB units. In the consumer market, many providers currently focus on gigabyte offerings with a trend to offer 2 GB- 50 GB’s at no charge. Each additional GB generally ranges in price between $ 0.25/GB - $2.00/GB.

iCloud is on a mission: to make on-demand anywhere access an affordable option for everyone. The strategy developed from experience bringing medical imaging iCloud WebPACS to remote, rural and emerging nations. To accompany the healthcare industry in regions where high internet speed is not readily available, through Cloud innovation iCloud developed a service that is powerful enough to supports large medical imaging files viewed in near-real time over any internet connection, all at an affordable price.

For businesses looking to move to the cloud as a way to improve business performance, iCloudDrive for Business is secure, feature rich and easy to use making it suitable for everyone. In line with iCloud’s strategy of bringing affordable IT in a less expensive way, iCloudDrive Express is inclusive of 2 TB (2048 GB) and iCloudDrive Standard delivers 10TB (10,240 GB).
