 EXPLANATORY NOTE

 Data Storage Corporation (the "Company")

December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 31, 2025 (the "Original 10-K").

 This Amendment is being filed for the sole purpose
of including the information required by Part III of this Annual Report on Form 10-K that was intended to be incorporated by reference
to the Company's definitive proxy statement relating to the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders because such proxy statement will
not be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 120 days after the end of the Company's fiscal year ended December
31, 2024. As required by the SEC, this Amendment includes new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
filed as Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4, hereto. Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment, we are not filing currently
dated certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

 Except as described above, the Company has not modified
or updated the Original 10-K or the financial statements included therein or modified any disclosures contained in the Original 10-K.
Accordingly, this Amendment, with the exception of the foregoing, does not reflect events occurring after the date of filing of the Original
10-K, or modify or update any disclosures affected by subsequent events. Consequently, all other information not affected by the correction
described above is unchanged and reflects the disclosures and other information made at the date of the filing of the Original 10-K and
should be read in conjunction with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-K, including amendments to those
filings, if any.

 Composition of our Board of Directors

 Our Board of Directors currently consists of ten members.
Our directors hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified or until the earlier of their death, resignation, or
removal. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

 Director Independence

 Under the rules of the Nasdaq
Stock Market, independent directors must comprise a majority of our Board of Directors. The Listing Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the
"Nasdaq Listing Rules"), as well as those of the SEC, impose several requirements with respect to the independence of our
directors. Our Board of Directors has conducted a review of its proposed composition, the composition of its proposed committees and the
independence of each director in accordance with these rules. With the exception of Charles M. Piluso, Harold J. Schwartz and Thomas C.
Kempster, our Board has determined that all of our present directors and our former directors are independent, in accordance with the
Nasdaq Listing Rules. Our Board has determined that, under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, Charles M. Piluso, Harold J. Schwartz and Thomas
C. Kempster are not independent directors because they are employees of the Company or its subsidiaries.

 Based upon information requested
from and provided by each director concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our
Board has determined that John Argen, Nancy M. Stallone, Matthew Grover, Todd A. Correll, Lawrence A Maglione, Jr. and Uwayne Mitchell
do not have relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director
and that each of these directors is "independent" as that term is defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and the SEC. In making
this determination, our Board of Directors considered relationships that each director has with the Company, including the transactions
described in Part III, Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence. Our Board has also determined
that: John Argen (Chair), Nancy M. Stallone and Matthew Grover are independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules' independence standards
for the members of our Board's audit committee (the "Audit Committee"); Matthew Grover (Chair) and Todd A. Correll are
independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules independence standards for the members of our Board's compensation committee (the "Compensation
Committee"); and Lawrence A. Maglione, Jr. (Chair) and John Argen are independent under the Nasdaq Listing Rules' independence
standards for the members of our Board's Nominating & Corporate Governance committee (the "Nominating & Corporate
Governance Committee").

 Term of Office

 Our directors are elected for one-year terms to hold
office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are
appointed by our Board and hold office until removed by the Board.

Financial Expert" as defined by SEC rules and regulations. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by

of the Audit Committee.

 The Company has a Nominating & Corporate Governance
Committee consisting of non-executive directors, each of whom the Board has determined is an independent director pursuant to the Nasdaq

Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the board of directors, which is available
on our website at www.dtst.com. The charter describes in more detail the nature and scope of responsibilities of the Nominating
& Corporate Governance Committee.

 The Company does not have a formal diversity policy.
However, the Nominating & Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each individual in the context of the Board of Directors as a whole,
with the objective of recommending individuals that can best perpetuate the success of our business and represent stockholder interests
through the exercise of sound business judgment and diversity of experience in various areas. We believe our current directors possess
diverse professional experiences, skills, and backgrounds, in addition to, among other characteristics, high standards of personal and

our website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our website, and
you should not consider it to be a part of this Annual Report.

 Delinquent Section 16(a)
Reports

 Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act requires that our directors and executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock (referred
to herein as the "reporting persons") file with the SEC various reports as to their ownership of and activities relating to
our common stock. Such reporting persons are required by the SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they
file. Based solely on our review of copies of the reports filed with the SEC and the written representations of our directors and executive
officers, we believe that the following reports were untimely: Form 4 filed by John Argen on January 3, 2024, Form 4 filed by each of
Thomas Kempster, Charles Piluso, Harold Schwartz and Christos Panagiotakos on March 5, 2024, Form 3 filed by Uwayne Mitchell on March
18, 2024, Form 3 filed by Nancy Stallone on April 2, 2024, Form 4 filed by each of Charles Piluso and Christos Panagiotakos on April 2,
2024, and Form 4 filed by each of Clifford Stein and Uwayne Mitchell on April 3, 2024.

 Insider Trading Policy

 We have adopted a
second amended and restated insider trading policy (the "Trading Policy") that is designed to promote compliance with federal
securities laws, rules and regulations, as well as the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market. The Trading Policy prohibits
trading in certain circumstances and applies to us and all of our directors, officers and employees as well as anyone associated with
the Company who have access to material nonpublic information of DSC (the "Covered Persons"). It sets forth DSC's standards
on trading and causing the trading of our securities or securities of other publicly traded companies while in possession of material
nonpublic information and provides that all Covered Persons shall not purchase securities or other financial instruments, or otherwise
engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of equity securities
granted as compensation to, or held directly or indirectly by, those persons. The Insider Trading Policy also incorporates anti-pledging
provisions. Consequently, no employee, executive officer or director may enter into a hedge or pledge of the Company's common stock,
including short sales, derivatives, put options, swaps and collars. Additionally, our Trading Policy imposes special additional trading
restrictions applicable to all of our directors, executive officers and key employees. The Trading Policy is annexed to this Annual Report

 Employment Agreements

 Executive Employment Agreements

 Mr. Piluso Employment Agreement

 On March 28, 2023, the Company entered into an employment
agreement, as amended (the "Piluso Employment Agreement") with Mr. Charles M. Piluso, the Company's Chief Executive
Officer. The Piluso Employment Agreement is for an initial term of three years, and it will be automatically renewed for consecutive one-year
terms at the end of the initial term. The Piluso Employment Agreement may be terminated with or without cause. Mr. Piluso received an
annual base salary of $225,000 in 2023, $250,000 in 2024 and will receive an annual base salary of $250,000 in 2025 and shall be eligible
to earn a performance bonus ranging from $75,000 to $300,000. Mr. Piluso shall also be entitled to an equity award for a total value of
$100,000 per annum, which shall be equally split between RSUs and stock options, as well as 75,000 performance share units.

 Pursuant to the Piluso Employment Agreement, Mr. Piluso
is also entitled to an equity award of 75,000 performance share units (the " PSUs "), one-third (1/3) of which shall
vest upon the Company's market capitalization reaching each of (i) $35,000,000, (ii) $50,000,000 and (iii) $75,000,000 (each a " Market
Cap Target "), provided, however, that no PSUs could vest earlier than March 28, 2024 and each Market
Cap Target must be maintained for at least twenty (20) trading days. One-third (1/3) of the PSUs were forfeited on September 28, 2024,
as a result of the $35,000,000 Market Cap Target not being achieved by September 28, 2024. If the $50,000,000 Market Cap Target is not
achieved by March 28, 2026, 25,000 PSs shall be forfeited and if the $75,000,000 Market Cap Target is not achieved by September 28, 2027,
the remaining 25,000 PSUs shall be forfeited. If any PSUs are issued to Mr. Piluso upon the Company's market capitalization reaching
$50 million or $75 million within the time period set forth in the Piluso Employment Agreement, Mr. Piluso has agreed to issue one-half
of such PSUs to Harold Schwartz, with the remaining one-half issued to Mr. Piluso, which alternate equity compensation arrangement the
Board has approved.

 Upon termination of Mr. Piluso without cause, or as
a result of Mr. Piluso's resignation for Good Reason (as such term is defined in the Piluso Employment Agreement) the Company shall
pay or provide to Mr. Piluso severance pay equal to his base salary for the remainder of the employment term and all stock options or
other similar equity compensation granted by the Company and then held by Mr. Piluso shall be accelerated and become fully vested and
exercisable as of the date of Mr. Piluso's termination.

 As a full-time employee of the Company, Mr. Piluso
will be eligible to participate in the Company's benefit programs.

 Mr. Panagiotakos' Employment Agreement

 On March 28, 2023, the Company entered into an employment
agreement, as amended (the "Panagiotakos Employment Agreement") with Mr. Chris H. Panagiotakos, the Company's Chief
Financial Officer. The Panagiotakos Employment Agreement is for an initial term of three years, and it will be automatically renewed for
consecutive one-year terms at the end of the initial term. The Panagiotakos Employment Agreement may be terminated with or without cause.
Mr. Panagiotakos received an annual base salary of $215,000 in 2023, $235,000 in 2024 and will receive $235,000 in 2025 and shall be eligible
to earn a performance bonus of 25% of his base salary. Mr. Panagiotakos shall also be entitled to an equity award for a total value equal
to 25% of his base salary per annum, which shall be equally split between RSUs and stock options, a financial achievement bonus of $45,000
and a long-term incentive bonus of stock options and RSUs equal to 25% of his base salary.

 Upon termination of Mr. Panagiotakos without cause,
or as a result of Mr. Panagiotakos' resignation for Good Reason (as such term is defined in the Panagiotakos Employment Agreement)
the Company shall pay or provide to Mr. Panagiotakos severance pay equal to his base salary for the remainder of the employment term and
all stock options or other similar equity compensation granted by the Company and then held by Mr. Panagiotakos shall be accelerated and
become fully vested and exercisable as of the date of Mr. Panagiotakos' termination.

 As a full-time employee of the Company, Mr. Panagiotakos
will be eligible to participate in the Company's benefit programs.

 Change in Control

 In the event that Mr. Piluso or Mr. Panagiotakos (each,
an "Executive") are terminated by the Company without Cause or the Executive resigns for Good Reason within twenty-four months
of a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Piluso Employment Agreement and Panagiotakos Employment Agreement), and the Executive
signs a general release in favor of the Company, the Executive shall receive his annual base salary for the remainder of the term of the
Piluso Employment Agreement or Panagiotakos Employment Agreement, as applicable, in accordance with the Company's typical payroll
practices, as well as a one-time lump severance payment equal to two times the Executive's annual base salary that he is receiving
at the time of his termination, plus, in the event the previous year's corporate financial objectives were achieved, one-times the
annual 100,000 cash bonus, if the separation occurs prior to the payment of the prior year's annual cash bonus. In addition,
if the Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or due to his resignation for Good Reason within twenty-four months of a Change
in Control, all stock options or other similar equity compensation granted by the Company and then held by the Executive shall be accelerated
and become fully vested and exercisable as of the date of the Executive's termination.

 Other Employment Arrangements

 The Company does not have formal employment agreements
with Harold J. Schwartz or Thomas C. Kempster. Their current and past salaries have been determined by the Compensation Committee and
are re-evaluated on a yearly basis. Mr. Schwartz's annual base salary for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was $171,717,
which was increased to $215,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and $245,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
Mr. Kempster's annual base salary for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 was $174,808, which was increased to $215,000 for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and $235,000 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Kempster are eligible
to earn RSUs and stock options, in addition to a cash bonus which is determined by the compensation committee.

 2010 Incentive Award Plan

 On August 12, 2010, the Company adopted the Data Storage
Corporation 2010 Incentive Award Plan (the "2010 Plan") that provided for 2,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance
under the terms of the 2010 Plan; which was amended on September 25, 2013, to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for
issuance under the 2010 Plan to 5,000,000 shares of common stock; which was further amended on June 20, 2017 to increase the number of
shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan to 8,000,000 shares of common stock; and further amended on July 1, 2019,
to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan to 10,000,000 shares of common stock. On April
23, 2012, the Company amended and restated the 2010 Plan to change the name to the "Amended and Restated Data Storage Corporation
Incentive Award Plan". The 2010 Plan was intended to promote the interests of the Company by attracting and retaining exceptional
employees, consultants, directors, officers and independent contractors (collectively referred to as the "Participants") and
enabling such Participants to participate in the long-term growth and financial success of the Company. Under the 2010 Plan, the Company
had the right to grant stock options, which are intended to qualify as "incentive stock options" under Section 422 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards, which were
restricted shares of common stock (collectively referred to as "Incentive Awards"). Incentive Awards were granted pursuant
to the 2010 Plan for 10 years from the Effective Date. There are 123,563 options outstanding under the 2010 Plan as of December 31, 2023.
The 2010 Plan expired on October 21, 2020, and accordingly, there are no shares available for future grants.

 On March 8, 2021, our Board and stockholders owning
in excess of 50% of our outstanding voting securities approved and adopted the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan").
Pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan we can grant stock options, restricted stock unit awards and other awards at levels determined
appropriate by our Board and/or compensation committee. The 2021 Plan also allows us to utilize a broad array of equity incentives and
performance cash incentives in order to secure and retain the services of our employees, directors, and consultants, and to provide long-term
incentives that align the interests of our employees, directors and consultants with the interests of our stockholders. An aggregate of
15,000,000 shares of our common stock may be issued under the 2021 Plan, subject to equitable adjustment in the event of future stock
splits, and other capital changes.

 (4)

 These option awards vested/vest 33.33% on each of the one- year, two- year and three- year anniversary following the grant date.

 Clawback Policy

 The Board has adopted a clawback
policy which allows us to recover performance-based compensation, whether cash or equity, from a current or former executive officer in
the event of an Accounting Restatement. The clawback policy defines an Accounting Restatement as an accounting restatement of our financial
statements due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws. Under such policy, we
may recoup incentive-based compensation previously received by an executive officer that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation
that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated amounts in the Accounting Restatement.

 The Board has the sole discretion
to determine the form and timing of the recovery, which may include repayment, forfeiture and/or an adjustment to future performance-based
compensation payouts or awards. The remedies under the clawback policy are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any legal and equitable
claims available to the Company. The clawback policy is annexed to this Annual Report as an exhibit.

 Equity Compensation Policy

 While we do not have a formal
written policy in place with regard to the timing of awards of options in relation to the disclosure of material nonpublic information,
the Compensation Committee does not seek to time equity grants to take advantage of information, either positive or negative, about our
company that has not been publicly disclosed. It has been our practice to grant equity awards to our officers and directors upon their
appointment. We intend to issue equity grants to our officers and/or directors at the same time each year, typically in connection with
our first meeting of the Board of Directors each fiscal year. Option grants are effective on the date the award determination is made
by the Compensation Committee, and the exercise price of options is the closing market price of our common stock on the business day of
the grant or, if the grant is made on a weekend or holiday, on the prior business day.

 During the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2024, we did not award any options to a named executive officer in the period beginning four business days before the filing
of an Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or a Current Report on Form 8-K that disclosed material nonpublic information
and ending one business day after the filing or furnishing of such reports, other than as set forth in the table below:

 ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE

 Pursuant to our charter, our Audit Committee shall
review on an on-going basis for potential conflicts of interest, and approve if appropriate, all our "Related Party Transactions".

 (1)

 Audit fees and expenses were for professional services rendered for the audit and reviews of the consolidated financial statements of the Company, professional services rendered for issuance of consents and assistance with review of documents filed with the SEC.

 The Audit Committee has adopted procedures for pre-approving
all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of such services.
These procedures include reviewing detailed back-up documentation for audit and permitted non-audit services. The documentation includes
a description of, and a budgeted amount for, particular categories of non-audit services that are recurring in nature and therefore anticipated
at the time that the budget is submitted. Audit Committee approval is required to exceed the pre-approved amount for a particular category
of non-audit services and to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for any non-audit services not included in those
pre-approved amounts. For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the rules
on auditor independence promulgated by the SEC and the PCAOB. The Audit Committee also considers whether the independent registered public
accounting firm is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, based on such reasons as the auditor's familiarity
with our business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile, and whether the services enhance our ability to manage or control
risks, and improve audit quality. The Audit Committee may form and delegate pre-approval authority to subcommittees consisting of one
or more members of the Audit Committee, and such subcommittees must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next
scheduled meeting. All of the services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

 Our audit committee pre-approves all services provided
by our independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the entire audit committee before the respective
services were rendered.
