Cloud Data Storage Solutions
The EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC) created a Hot Topics page on Cloud Data Storage Solutions: Dropbox Security & Privacy Considerations. The topic, Cloud Data Storage Solutions: Dropbox Security & Privacy Considerations discusses issues of concern that are common to most cloud data storage services; however vendor solutions and implementations vary greatly. The following outlines an evaluation of one vendor that can easily be applied to others, such as SpiderOak, box.net, Skydrive, and CrashPlan.
