Cloud solutions are great unless youre storing huge amounts of data thats being served, modified, and/or backed up. Go with JBOD's, ZFS+snapshots+rsync (or gluster even), and lots of firewalls with MFA and youll be fine (im averaging 60 to 120 TB's in my boxes raid5-7). Google drive is fine for docs. Data should stay home and be backed up elsewhere in the 'house' (still home ... just a separate basement data center or something that wont also burn down). Lets not forget this could have been an inside job that will get around a lot of security other than another humans/montiors vigilance. UCSF outsourcing all their talent is exactly what enabled this.
