Is a Major Tech Firm Regarding to Release a “Cloud Nine” Product?

Handful of domain names using “Cloud Nine” brand registered.

We’ve seen a lot of cloud products lately adopt the “cloud” name in their brand. Is a major tech firm getting ready to launch a “Cloud Nine” brand?

A firm has just registered a number of domain names using this brand:

Cloud9application.com
Cloud9browsing.com
Cloud9searching.com
Cloud9Browser.com
CloudNineApplication.com
CloudNineBrowser.com
CloudNineBrowsing.com
CloudNineSearching.com

The domain names were registered to DNStination, an affiliate of MarkMonitor that registers domain names on behalf of sizable firms. Some of the firms that use DNStination are Google, Amazon.com, Facebook, and Microsoft.

One possibility is Amazon, which by now has a search product call A9.com. Then of course Microsoft has its Internet Explorer 9 browser, so this could merely be a play on being on “Cloud 9” and a marketing gimmick for the firm.

What do you think?
