Cloud storage and service providers provide valuable IT solutions to businesses of all sizes. Cloud storage for business, which was initially thought to be more for personal use, is following in the footsteps of many personal technologies adapted for business use. "From storage to software to security," said Clay Ostlund, CTO of Marco, "cloud services are taking over almost every aspect of technology." Many businesses can benefit from comprehensive cloud services such as hosted applications, Infrastructure as a Service, and more, and the transition frequently begins with data storage needs.
HOW CLOUD STORAGE WORKS
Cloud storage works by storing data on remote servers where it can be managed, backed up, and accessed remotely. As long as permissions are in place, data stored in the cloud is accessible by any device at any time. Despite its ease of access, cloud-based data storage is extremely safe and secure.
ADVANTAGES OF CLOUD STORAGE FOR BUSINESS
Many people use the cloud for personal reasons, but most businesses have yet to make the switch. Whether your current on-premise data storage appears sufficient or you simply haven't given cloud storage much thought, reviewing these benefits is a good place to start.
1: COST SAVINGS
The first and perhaps most important benefit, in the minds of many business owners, is the cost advantage. Cloud storage is generally less expensive because providers spread the costs of their infrastructure and services across a large number of businesses.
Also, consider the increased productivity cloud storage allows.
2: SIMPLIFIED CONVENIENCE
Within your office, all you'll need is a computer and an internet connection. Much of your server hardware will be obsolete, freeing up physical space and eliminating the need for maintenance and employee attention.
Your solution will be maintained, managed, and supported by your cloud storage provider. This frees up employees who would otherwise be responsible for keeping your data secure and your server(s) operational.
3: ENHANCED SECURITY
Cloud storage, as referred to as having hardware in your office, is housed in a data center, providing enterprise-level security.
This means that even if one server fails, your data is safe because it is stored in multiple locations. Because your data is stored in redundant locations, the risk of hardware failure is reduced.
4: MOBILITY OPPORTUNITIES
The cloud's mobility benefits are rapidly expanding for businesses of all sizes. We can work (and play) whenever and wherever we want in today's connected world. While waiting for a flight or at home with a sick child, you can still work – and work efficiently.
Working outside the office was difficult and time-consuming prior to the advent of cloud storage. Remember saving your files on your laptop and then returning to work and having to transfer your updated files to ensure others had access to the most recent version? I certainly do.
Instead, the newest version of your document is stored in the cloud and will be easily accessible from any of your devices.
5: SCALABLE SERVICE
You only pay for what you use, as you use it, with cloud storage. You don't have to guess how much storage space you'll need for the year and risk overpaying or running out. You can change the resources available through cloud storage providers and pay for them based on your current needs, which you can modify as they change.
