A cloud of your very own

摘要

Is this the death of the cloud as we know it? Space Monkey certainly seems to think so - it is planning to build a better one. When its Kickstarter campaign ended last week, the startup had received more than three times its $100,000 funding target. Set to launch in the next few months, Space Monkey aims to replace public cloud service providers such as Dropbox and Google Drive with a cloud of thousands of devices that sit in our homes, For a monthly fee, Space Monkey will lease subscribers a device containing a 2-terabyte hard drive and software that connects to all other Space Monkey devices on the internet.
