Today, Virginia based IceWeb announced that it would be building a 24 terabyte cloud storage network for an unnamed interstate gas transmission and storage company. The new platform will be used to map the 10,000 miles of pipeline that the company operates as well as log storage. The system is both multi-tiered and custom built for this particular company. IceWeb has been increasing its presence in the oil industry and has been awarded a contract to audit a Fortune 10 gas companies Geospatial Data ware house.
There is no doubt that the oil industry is one that IceWeb should make every effort to get a foothold in. 2010 is the year of data and any company that can provide an efficient way to store, access, secure and translate this data will be in position to make some serious capital this year. With the competitive nature of the computer world, hardware prices dropping and software increasing, it will be important for any data company to differentiate themselves from the countless other competitors
