My situation does not lend itself to so-called "cloud" servers. We are
in a rural area where high speed options are limited to radio.
My Viasat usage as of about 04:00 this morning:
"Welcome, Bob Goodwin
CURRENT DATA USAGE
10.6GB
42% used of 25GB allowance
19 days remaining in the current billing period"
The Mac users all utilize some Apple cloud storage which wreaks havoc
with my usage. I configure the router to keep them off the iCloud except
during the "free" of charge early morning hours. They can eat up 25 gigs
in a few hours, from there my cost for more bandwidth doubles!
ClearOS can be deployed on e.g. Amazon EC2, sure

but this is only one possible purpose.
You might prefer to compare it with FreeNAS, only ClearOS is Linux in the heart, not BSD.
