Announcement posted by iCloud Inc 04 Dec 2011

All-in-one iCloudDrive; so many more features, so much more space

Finding a Cloud service to keep all your files safe, secure and internet accessible whether it’s for your personal use or to manage your business content online, just got a lot easier. Cloud computing has been around for more than a decade and is becoming widely adopted as individual consumers and businesses are realizing the benefits the cloud presents. There has been an unprecedented increase in the availability and quantity of data users require to store and the search is on to find providers with the best features at the right price for comparison and review.

For home use, instant, automatic protection for photos, music, and digital files while having information accessible wherever you are is a priority. Executives looking to increase their agility and to manage organizational complexity are finding that with Cloud computing they have a valuable tool that forms the core of a new business process that is capable of radically improving performance.

Criteria for implementing a Cloud service range from security requirements through to ease of use in conjunction with the features of the service itself. Deploying the right Cloud service into the work processes of employees can boost a company’s efficiency and financial performance but it can be difficult to determine the amount of space that will be required, especially when adopting cloud across an enterprise. Determining what the financial cost required to your organization will be is in order so that you can begin to benefit from all the savings Cloud brings with it such as streamlining workflow and increasing communication internally as well as with your customers.

iCloud’s all-in-one iCloudDrive brings powerful backup, collaboration and sharing features to both individual and enterprise users. iCloud is recognized for delivering high-performing solutions and innovative iCloudDrive, designed with power and flexibility in mind for both home and enterprise computing, is no exception. With rich features and an easy-to-use interface, iCloudDrive’s major enhancement in the cloud space is that it is the most cost effective way to get high-capacity cloud storage.

When it comes to figuring out how much storage space you get, iCloud stands out from the crowd with their TB (1024GB) service offerings. iCloudDrive For Home provides back-up for all your computers for $60.00/year which equates to $5/month and the space is unlimited. For $11/month (at $132/year), iCloud’s Briefcase service lets you share your files easily, watch movies and play music on the move with 2TBs (2048GB) of storage. That works out to be about $0.06/GB/year. In contrast, many cloud services providers give 2GB - 5GB of storage space for free and users pay charges for more space ranging from $0.25 to $2/GB/year. With iCloudDrive For Home, you are able to back-up all your computers and the service can be used on any device.

With iCloudDrive for Business, you can back up all of the PCs in your office and your staff can access their files from anywhere, share files, and collaborate on documents. Business Express brings 2TB (2048GB) of service for three users for $456/year, only $38/month. iCloud’s Business Standard service delivers 10TB (10,240GB) of service for 10 users bringing a lot of space to a lot of users for $125 monthly. And the services grow with your needs for all iCloudDrive services so you can add more TB storage space or additional users for pennies/GB if needed. iCloudDrive comes with a full 14-Day Money Back Guarantee providing the opportunity to experience first-hand all that Cloud computing promises to deliver.

iCloud takes a practical approach to cloud storage and looks ahead through the lens of what it can be used for. If you haven’t used a Cloud service before, it will be difficult to know how much space you might need. By providing clients with large amounts of data space for a fraction of the cost, iCloudDrive is positioned as a service for clients that are ready to move to the cloud and are looking for great value. Once transitioned to the cloud, transformation can begin with a focus on the service itself and not concerns of whether there is enough space to be able to do what you want to do so you can shift your focus to your performance edge.
