Every year my family camps out next to the lake one night in July. Actually it’s not real camping, because we’re on my father-in-law’s lawn, and we watch a DVD (traditionally The Incredibles) on my PC.
This year we discovered that my DVD player didn’t work. After a collective “oh no!”, we figured out that we could stream the movie WALL-E from Netflix. Five minutes later we were enjoying our show under the stars.
This was the most tangible sign I’ve yet seen of the world’s move to the Cloud. I’m not an early adopter (not late either); yet there we were, taking what we wanted from the Ether, incrementally “free”.
The Cloud is only going to get easier, cheaper and more mainstream from here. It’s going to expand to include more and more forms of business content.
I’m not going to throw out my DVDs. And I still physically back up my precious digital stuff. Likewise, businesses aren’t free of storage. But how they use that storage will change. And fast.
Are you ready? Is your business?
