Privacy concerns drive cloud collaboration with European firms

OCA encouraging industry shifts
One way that the Open Cloud Alliance is dedicated to improving cloud privacy is by encouraging more European colocation centers to evolve into cloud services, according to Business Cloud. Not only is this strategy forward-thinking, it also provides the data center industry with additional home-grown solutions for cloud storage. A company looking to diversify their data storage strategy, for instance, might combine colocation storage with additional backups at a remote location.

Moves like this ensure that intruders can't view all of a company's secure data at once. Gear like remote console servers makes these privacy strategies a breeze. Data collected by Crisp Research estimated that the worldwide compound average growth rate of the cloud hosting industry in 2013 was at 27 percent. Several colocation centers, at home and abroad, are likely to follow the OCA lead and branch out into the cloud services in order to chase the growing market.
