Cloud storage vendors have jumped into the holiday season sale bandwagon, offering discounts of up to 75% along with a suite of add-on features. Here’s a look at some of the best cloud storage deals for your business as you wake up to Black Friday.
There’s a lot to be thankful for this year, especially cloud storage vendors who are offering some unbelievable deals to take care of your business’s storage needs. Needless to say, cloud storage is slowly becoming as ubiquitous as thumb drives were just a decade ago.
Cloud-based storage is easily accessible, affordable (even more so today), secure, and provides flexibility and uptime. There are some privacy, governance, and connectivity challenges, but it is reasonable to agree that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages in the right context. Another reality that businesses regularly encounter is that the more data they accumulate, the more storage they have to buy, multiplying costs faster than they initially accounted for.
So if your storage needs are bogged down by expensive cloud contracts and limited on-premise infrastructure, here’s a look at five of the best cloud storage deals available today on Black Friday 2021, including a couple who are offering unlimited backup space. It is pertinent to note, however, that none of the big three cloud vendors, viz., AWS, Microsoft, and Google are offering any Black Friday deals for cloud storage this year.
