Personal cloud, or mobile cloud, refers to a local network-attached storage (NAS) cloud facility used for storing and sharing personal or professional data, such as videos, photos and documents. It is an assembly of digitally stored services and information that can be accessed remotely and is commonly used by individuals, small businesses and organizations. It is used to synchronize or share sensitive data with various devices, such as tablets, personal computers and smartphones. It involves online and server device cloud storage facilities. They eliminate the need to store information on a hardware device and offer enhanced storage space, cost-effectiveness and accessibility to the consumer.
Significant growth in the information technology (IT) industry across the globe, along with rapid digitization, is among the key factors driving the market growth. Moreover, the increasing adoption of cloud-based data recovery systems is providing a thrust to the market growth. With the proliferating social media platforms, there is a growing requirement for personal storage systems for storing data that can be accessed through multiple devices. In line with this, the emergence of bring-your-own-devices (BYOD) and work from home (WFH) trends are also contributing to the growth of the market. Organizations use personal cloud storage systems to promote file storage and sharing among employees and businesses. Additionally, various technological advancements and the widespread adoption of Cloud as a Service (CaaS) business models are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These innovations offer individuals and organizations with enhanced flexibility, productivity and reduced infrastructural costs. Other factors, including extensive research and development (R&D) activities, along with increasing internet penetration, especially in the developing economies, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
