Another week, another cloud storage price drop. The barrier of price is slowly melting away as the cloud storage wars rage and prices drop into the pennies per gigabyte per month. Not familiar with the price wars? Here’s an abridged version:
In 2013, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google, and Rackspace dropped prices a combined 25 times.

New entrants like IBM Softlayer recently got in the game with a price drop of up to 65 percent on storage
