Keep your Data Intact - Benefits of Secure Cloud services
There has been a concerted effort to develop secure cloud services so that the integrity and the secrecy of the data stored is not compromised in any way. There are always three main verticals that need to be secured and optimized so as to facilitate the growth of an organization and they are Security, Sharing and Backup. Ignoring even one of these essentials, an organization will find it extremely difficult to grow.
Sharing: With the ever expanding size of organizations both in terms of number of employees and number of countries it is important that file sharing of an organization is well streamlined. Many large corporations share large files daily as they have numerous departments and work in countries spanning across various time zones. With the help of file sharing many employees can access the required files through online file sharing which thus minimizes data required to be stored on every computer. Companies can also outsource this to remote file servers so as to save costs and concentrate on the main domain of the company. Folder synchronization is equally important to ensure that all the verticals of the company are on the same page.
Backup: In today’s competitive times the value of the data is simply too high and the loss of it may prove to be catastrophic for the company. The cloud backup provides the best protection against data loss.
- Cloud backup services utilize the best practices to ensure the best data protection and encryption. Since it is outsourced to a cloud service, only a minimal subscription cost is necessary.
- There is a variety of backup software available in the market which automatically back up data for you. They are cheap and best suited for small entrepreneurs.
- Online backup is also available; the biggest benefit of using online backup is that the server is located far from your base. It is ideally suited for small businesses which are located in disaster prone areas.
Security: Security of your data is the most important factor in so far as data handling is concerned. While a lot of companies have jumped into the cloud computing bandwagon special attention also needs to be paid to the security aspect of it.
- The secure cloud service providers’ offer sophisticated security solutions at a cheaper price because of the economies of scale.
- Outsourcing the work also saves costs and manpower that would otherwise have to be deployed in data security.
