A significant challenge for most businesses operating on-premise servers is the physical storage limitations of the server. As the need for storage space increases with technology and the use of machine learning, artificial intelligence, big data, and automation of business systems, businesses are dependent on not only storage capacity but the ability to quickly and effectively retrieve data for computing applications.
Cloud storage provides the ideal solution for businesses of all sizes. It can be used by businesses with current in-house servers, as well as with businesses that are using cloud-based applications and programs through data centers.
What is Cloud Storage?
With cloud storage, rather than having the digital information stored on a physical server, computer, or external storage device, it is stored in the cloud. The cloud is a network of third-party virtual servers that are linked together, pooling the processing, computing, and storage of these servers.
Data can be uploaded and downloaded from the cloud from any authorized device in any place with internet access. This eliminates locally stored data access problems that are always an issue with remote work, hybrid business models, or when multiple businesses, employee, and customer locations are involved.
Benefits of Cloud Storage
In addition to the virtually limitless storage potential of the cloud and the remote access feature, there are other benefits of cloud storage to consider. It is a pay-as-you-go service, which makes it cost-effective for any size and type of business.
Cloud storage also offers support from the data center, particularly if it offers storage-as-a-service. Combined with backup and disaster recovery service options, cloud storage protects your company from data loss now and in the future.
