Upstart Cloud Providers Challenge Status Quo
InformationWeek, NY 
But while these backup vendors meet some niche needs for IT, such as outsourced FTP services or client backup repositories, again, none is appropriate for comprehensive enterprise archiving and backup. There’s a clear void to be filled here, and where there’s an underserved business need lately, there’s been an agile startup or two to fill it. We recently profiled one such company, ParaScale, that’s moving in to serve the expanding Tier 2 storage market. ParaScale sells the type of software that’s the magic behind many of the consumer and enterprise file storage offerings on the market today. Also previewed was an innovative cloud storage startup, Nirvanix. What’s unique about ParaScale and Nirvanix? They’re among the first viable threats to everyone selling name-brand bare-metal archiving and network-attached storage systems. Value shoppers now have real options.

Consumers and companies cringe at climbing cost of cardboard
Evansville Courier & Press, IN 
That move translated into roughly a 12 percent price hike for companies that buy containerboard to make cardboard boxes. This month containerboard producers have been trying to lift prices again, this time by about $60 per ton. Moishe’s Moving and Storage, a New York City moving company that sells boxes to the public, said it had a 12 percent box price hike in June and another 12 percent increase in August. That contrasts with all of 2007, when Moishe’s had just one price increase, also of 12 percent. In an effort to find alternatives for customers, Moishe’s is starting a Web-based box exchange service for finding people with boxes to sell or give away. Others have taken similar steps, including U-Haul, which began an online box exchange in the summer of 2007. Meanwhile, small, privately held companies that buy containerboard to make cardboard boxes have to make the tough call of deciding how much of the cost to pass along.
