If
your business deals with a large amount of data on a daily basis—such
as customer information—you probably discouraged employees to save
on their local drives years ago. Most of today’s local drives only
have a capacity of 4 TB, which is often not enough. In addition,
saving a large amount of data locally can cause some computers to
slow down since free hard drive space helps programs to operate
efficiently.
Perhaps
you have opted for a server which has a maximum capacity of over 200
TB. You’ve positioned this server in the far end of the office,
where a dedicated IT professional monitors it as needed. The problem
with a local server, however, is that when it fails due to a sudden
power outage, you are likely to lose your data.
This
is where you can benefit from storing your business data online with
the help of cloud
service providers.
With this option, your employees can save all the necessary data
without having to worry about capacity restrictions on their local
hard drives or servers.
Another
advantage of storing business data via cloud services is that you’re
assured of business continuity. Remember, there are certain areas
which are prone to natural disasters like earthquakes. When an
earthquake strikes, commercial structures are likely to be affected,
resulting in toppled buildings and ruined office equipment. With
cloud services, your operations can continue in an offsite facility
because you can access the data from any location.
