The cloud enables businesses to store and access data without the inconvenience and cost structures of local server installations. Here we present some of the benefits of cloud data.


"In short, cloud computing is a better approach for managing your business," said Marc Benioff, renowned industrial expert. That said, the overall value of a cloud strategy can also be determined by organizational specifics and case-by-case execution. At Oracle, Mark Hurd is confident that businesses will continue to appreciate this value. He predicts that "80% of companies will close their data centers by 2025" to replace them with cloud services. Here we present some of the benefits of cloud storage.


Advantageous cost structure

The cloud appeals to businesses because it offers them the opportunity to reduce the total cost of ownership and achieve a better return on investment than local hardware solutions. Cloud storage eliminates the capital expense of on-premises servers and their ongoing maintenance. Many cloud storage services offer usage-based payment options, and monthly plans, which allow businesses to pay only as needed, relieving their budget and cash flow, unlike on-premises solutions.


Cloud solutions require less manpower in terms of configuration and development, because this type of service is normally provided by cloud providers. Cloud products have the advantage of offering faster deployments than their local counterparts, reducing the expense of time, money and manpower.


Resilience

By the very nature of their infrastructure, cloud apps and services can offer higher levels of availability and reduced downtime, compared to local hardware and software solutions, further enhancing the return on investment of the company. cloud proposal. As remote access to information stored on cloud platforms only requires an internet connection, data can be copied to multiple locations. This approach reduces the risk to user operations. For example, if a server is no longer available, or if a zone is affected by a lack of internet availability, users can connect to another server or zone to access data without wasting time.


As many operations increasingly require interconnection with databases, consistency and speed of access from any device have become priority criteria. The use of cloud products offering backup and recovery solutions meets this requirement.


security

Security has always been a hot topic of discussion and a strategic priority for all companies, but its evolution seems to increasingly favor cloud solutions. As security expert Troy Hunt explains that: “On the one hand, you lose direct physical control of the solution, but on the other hand you hand it over to a professional organization that has more experience and better tools than yours in the management of IT environments”.


For cloud services like Drooms, security is the top priority. They have all the certifications required to prove their compliance with current legal standards and their data protection capacity. Some providers even use blockchain technology to strengthen the protections built into their offerings. Depending on the nature of the service offered, security tests and internal scans may be included to detect vulnerabilities and assess file security. Indeed, file encryption built into standard operations is not an easy option to obtain.
