Companies can take steps to keep the cost of their cloud storage down, reports ZD Net. 

A decade ago, when enterprises seriously started migrating their data and file storage to a single cloud service from servers sitting in data centers, it was a fairly simple process to keep track of offsite storage costs.  

According to Inc., AWS is promising that soon it will be faster to move data to and from the cloud. 

Moving data to and from the cloud is about to get incrementally faster. Amazon chief technology officer Werner Vogels announced on Thursday that AWS is expanding its number of physical data centers around the world in order to speed up data transfer for users. 

According to ZD Net, the cloud is evolving in artificial intelligence driven multi-cloud environments.

"There is no business strategy without a cloud strategy," said Gartner VP Milind Govekar, ahead of the analyst firm's November 2021 IT Symposium/Xpo. "The adoption and interest in public cloud continues unabated as organizations pursue a 'cloud first' policy for onboarding new workloads," Govekar added.
