The Stage Is Set For IceWEB (IWEB.OB)
to Capitalize on Exploding Cloud Computing Industry
Symbol: IWEB
Price: .17 - .18
Name: IceWeb, Inc
The market for disk storage in cloud computing deployments is forecast to grow from $267.4 million in 2010 to $1.45 billion in 2015 and is on pace to total $417.3 in 2011, a 56% increase from 2010!
IWEB is positioned extremely well, and could corner a BIG piece of the marketshare!
Not ONLY APPLE, but...
The biggest names in the tech sector, including Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard and Amazon.com, are devoting extensive resources to try and take the lead in the burgeoning cloud computing market showcases the future of the industry.
The high expectations of the industry have these companies scrambling to properly align themselves to take the biggest possible chunk of market share.
Smaller, cloud-based companies are already being acquired by the larger counterparts looking to beef-up their cloud capabilities while it is still on the ground floor. Could IWEB be one that is gobbled up?
Could IWEB be prime for a take-over? Proven track record, been around for decades, why not...
Hewlett-Packard started demonstrating their belief in the value of cloud technologies in 2007 by snagging data center automation startup Ospware for $1.6 billion (16 times the total 2006 revenue of Ospware). In 2010, H-P gobbled-up network gear maker 3Com Corp. for $2.7 billion.
That was followed by a cash acquisition of security software maker ArcSight, Inc. for $1.5 billion. Smart move as keeping your version of the cloud secure is mandatory. Further, H-P continued its quest by outbidding Dell last year to acquire data storage company 3Par for $2.4 billion. Safe to say that Hewlett-Packard is getting its ducks in a row and many other industry leaders will be following with acquisitions as it is far either to swallow another company than try and develop all of the technology internally.
IWEB could benefit from the exponential growth that is on tap for cloud computing is Sterling, Virginia-based IceWEB, Inc. (OTCBB:IWEB) Headquartered just outside of Washington, D.C.,
IceWEB is quickly establishing itself as an industry leader as a manufacturer and marketer of Unified Data Storage and building blocks for cloud storage networks.

This is WHY (IWEB) Could be the Next.....
Like I always have said, "Management' is critical for success!
IceWEB management:
CEO and Board Chairman John R. Signorello was the founder and man at the helm of STMS (Solutions That Make Sense), a private technology firm specialized in computer networks, systems integration and information technology, that was ranked as the 17th fastest growing technology company in America by The National Technology Council The Fast Five Hundred in 1996.
In what is a common practice in the technology industry, SMTS was acquired by Steelcloud (Nasdaq:SCLD) in 1997. Equally important for a public company, Mr. Signorello has a background as a Director for a publicly traded Internet Venture Fund. Other executives and Board Members bring more than a century's worth of top-level experience obtained in a wide array of industries and through large corporations, including SteelCloud.
IceWEB leverages its experience to partner with the largest names in the tech industry. Their list of technology partner list reads like a "Who's Who in Tech Success" and includes such names as Microsoft, Intel, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, Citrix, Cisco Systems and Seagate Technologies, to name a few.
IceWEB could certainly be perceived as undervalued. The market-cap is just under $27 mill...
