Forecast: Blue Skies for Cloud Users
What is the Cloud? A cloud normally describes those puffy white objects in the sky, but “the Cloud” is something different.
When someone talks about “the Cloud” and the internet in the same sentence, most likely they’re not referring to the weather. Instead, they’re talking about a way to securely store and access data such as documents, photos, or videos over the internet. If you’ve ever streamed a movie on Netflix, sent an email on Gmail, or stored an image online, you’ve most certainly used the Cloud.
WHY USE THE CLOUD?
The Cloud is reliable, affordable, secure, and more flexible than physical drives when it comes to managing data. That's because internal and external hard drives can get damaged, lost, or stolen. Using the Cloud can protect and give quick access to your data. Best of all, the Cloud will always stay current and never needs to be replaced or updated.
WHY THE CLOUD IS MORE SECURE
The Cloud provides the highest level of security. Just as clouds in the sky shade you from the sun, Cloud computing protects you from the many digital security concerns you face. Natural disasters such as a flood or fire can physically damage your hard drives, but a remote Cloud network can assure your data is safe when emergencies happen.
WHY THE CLOUD IS MORE CONVENIENT?
The Cloud has you covered anywhere you may be. Whether you’re updating your Facebook with new baby photos, sharing a Google Doc from your mobile device, or watching your favorite movies on Amazon Prime, the Cloud makes all of that data exchange run smoothly.
WHY THE CLOUD IS A SAFER PLACE FOR YOUR DATA
Today, the Cloud is a part of everyday life. If you're not using the Cloud—your data could be at risk unnecessarily. You may be open to human mistakes such as copying over work, accidentally losing files, or deleting documents. The Cloud is a great data backup for any unexpected events and is an integral part of any device security plan.
