Cloud services offered as either cloud computing or cloud storage can be an invaluable asset to cost-conscious small and midsize businesses. Although some larger organizations have the resources to build their own cloud storage services, smaller businesses typically turn to cloud storage providers that offer Internet-accessible storage services.

These services provide small and midsize businesses with cost-effective access to capabilities that once were the sole domain of large enterprises with sprawling IT staffs and bottomless budgets. In fact, smaller organizations are uniquely positioned to take advantage of these services because they don't need to jump through the hoops of a lengthy approval process before trying something new and, furthermore, many cloud storage providers cater directly to the SMB market.
