Cloud Storage

As businesses grow and expand, so does the technology and data that they use. Applications, software, and information used by businesses play a key role in their productivity and success. Much of this data is sensitive and its integrity is of the highest importance. Backing this information up and ensuring its safety is a key factor in keeping a company running at peak efficiency. Data must be protected from such threats as power outages, environmental issues like fire or water damage, and theft, as well as components inevitably failing.

There are many methods in which to do this. A growing trend amongst small and medium sized businesses is to utilize cloud storage to routinely back up their data.

The term cloud storage refers to using an offsite company to handle the safe storage of files and data through the internet. Through the use of the cloud, businesses can focus on doing what they do best and let the data center professionals deal with the task of keeping all of this information intact as well as all of the expenses involved.

As with many things, this may not be the perfect solution for all businesses. A thorough analysis of your particular business technology as well as data use is necessary. It is important to understand that even though your data is available in the cloud, if you have an internet or power outage locally, the data will not be accessible. In addition, the speed that your local ISP delivers will play a big role in data retrieval. There are always ways to resolve those issues and TechFarmer is happy to analyze your current environment as well as suggest the most fitting solution.
