The Cloud. You’ve heard it whispered in the halls, and seen it scrawled in the margins. It sounds like something from a children’s book, but the truth is that the “Cloud” is a very mystical name for a very concrete, tangible thing.
The cloud is simply a way of outsourcing storage. If you’ve ever lost all of your information from a computer crash, water damage, or an unfortunate mistake, you’ll know just how horrible it can be. Storing your information in the cloud is a way to trust a large company with your information, stored in huge facilities all around the world. Another added bonus of this system, besides the increased security, is the benefit of being able to access your information from literally anywhere, as long as you have internet access.
Cloud storage is certainly the way of the future — 49% of companies have developed or are developing IT security talent and increasing training investment for the use of the cloud. Indeed, 35% of IT services today are delivered if not totally, then partially, by cloud. The global market for cloud equipment is growing accordingly — it’s expected to reach $79.1 billion by 2018.
Enlisting the help of a cloud brokerage service to help you and your business enter the world of the cloud can ease the transition and move operations into the world of today. Cloud consultants are able to determine the type of plan and amount of storage you need based on the type of operations you need to run. Perhaps your company needs to be able to seamlessly run data across several different operations, or have the whole staff using the same stuff on one program — your personal cloud broker can help you to figure this out.
Cloud brokerage services are an investment for the future. Once your information is safe with a specialized third party, you are free to make big decisions, like moving to a different country, without worrying about transporting records and files. Cloud communications can also enable you to hire remote talent, which lifts many old limitations.
Keeping up with the advancements in the digital age can be trying, but it is important that you get on board with this one — otherwise you and your information will be left behind, literally. Call a cloud services broker today to set up a consultation.
