Hey! You! Get Off Of My Cloud...

With the increasing popularity of cloud computing in recent years--and all of the publicity it has received--one would think the entire world is rushing pell-mell to migrate their data centers to third-party, off-site facilities.

CEOs and IT professionals, however, know that there are significant down-sides (such as performance, cost, and security) to the concept of a "public cloud." For that reason, there is a growing (if less celebrated) side to cloud computing--private clouds.

Thermaltake BlackX Duet
How often do you back up your data? If you are like many small business owners, the answer is, "not often enough?"

Online back-up is a great solution--but sometimes you just want to make a copy (or copies!) of all those valuable photos, CAD files, or audio and video recordings, and take them home, or drop them off at the safe-deposit box, so you can rest easily at night.

Backup tapes have always been a hassle, and removable data cartridges can be a little pricey.

That's the niche the Thermaltake BlackX Duet was created to fill. This ultra-affordable dual-hard drive chassis allows you to turn any old SATA drive into a removable data cartridge, for a fraction of the cost.

Such a bare-bones approach to data backup is not for everyone--but if you are looking for a simple and cost-effective way to produce multiple redundant copies of your most critical data, this is a solution that is hard to beat.
