The only way we could increase our available storage was to increase the instance size.
I use Rackspace Cloud and have found other alternatives. If they just need more storage, Rackspace Cloud Files (similar to Amazon S3) would work (though it is not mountable to server instances). If they needed an infinitely scalable MySQL database for that historical data, they could use Rackspace Cloud Sites (similar to MediaTemple).
What's nice about Rackspace is that you can have Cloud Server instances, Cloud Sites (managed cloud hosting), Cloud Files, and dedicated Rackspace servers all in one place.
