parkscloudThe analyst believes that as the connected consumer achieves greater mobility, connected devices are increasingly reliant on cloud-based features to enable enhanced consumer experiences and features that are unavailable in non-connected products.

Yet the Parks research Converging Clouds: The Next Step for the Personal Cloud found that despite options available from companies such as Carbonite, Acronis, and Backblaze, 62% of US broadband households never back up their data to an online storage service.
