With simple installation and an intuitive web-based interface, the DockStar network adapter will change the way people control the access and sharing of their content by creating their own personal storage'clouds' while keeping the security and privacy of the drives' content because it is located within their home.
We will see more data center based cloud storage (both private and public) as well as user clouds with addressable storage in a home or small office NAS device or even in a mobile storage device.
Network connected external storage devices in the home will act as caches for internet content as local cloud storage plays a more coordinated role with remote clouds.
In parallel to the expansion of the public cloud, many organizations have started to deploy their own private clouds for internal applications and content (archival) storage.
Employees are accustomed to personal clouds that provide easy access to information over multiple devices and IT has embraced cloud services to gain cheaper storage and processing power.
