Cloud Storage

Cloud storage is as simple as it sounds, it is where your business utilises a secure data centre to store some or all of your files and data.

WHY DO PEOPLE USE IT?

More Cost Effective

Traditionally the storage of your company’s data and files is held on a server on site, but as the amount of data we create increases (currently there are over 2 quintillion pieces of data created each day), it is becoming harder and harder to store that data on site.

It can be very expensive to create a secure environment large enough to store the company’s growing amount of data. Using a data centre to store data means that you do not need to invest in physical hardware, and can just rent the required space.

Security

As data centre’s are storing such large amounts of data, it is their job to keep the data safe and secure. This means they have the most complex and multi-faceted security policies. Unless you invest heavily in making your on site storage safe, your data will be safer in the cloud. Please see our providers individual pages below for more details.

Disaster Recovery

As the data is stored in the cloud, if the company’s server were to corrupt or fail, the data is stored safely and can be easily restored.

If your company were to lose access to the building through flooding or fire the data can still easily be access remotely. With company’s data being so important, it is almost imperative that some form of off site back is done.
