There’s no denying that the world is advancing in the realm of technology with every passing day. We now hold the equivalent to a computer in the palm of our hands. Technology has not only impacted our personal lives, but our professional lives as well. Having hard copies of documents is going the way of the dodo while the preference for electronic documentation is on the rise.
The problem that many businesses face with this change is the fact that electronic files have a real risk at being corrupted or accidentally removed. While we are making advancements, there is no shortage of skills we need to develop to keep our information secure.
In comes cloud-based technology. ‘The Cloud’ is that remote database where you can store all manner of files. There are several companies that specialize in remote backup services where you are given a set amount of space and pay a fee to store your files. Instead of having rooms dedicated to hard drives specifically for the purpose of saving data businesses can use that space to store product, create offices or expand their staff.
No matter what your business is, your main goal, aside from serving your clients, is keeping their information safe. The risk that is run by using a remote cloud server to back up your files is that you don’t have control over what happens to that server. If the server goes down, you can expect to be without your data for hours, sometimes even days. The benefit of having your cloud servers on location is immeasurable. The new Synology DiskStation DS916+ NAS server has been designed to solve the problems you didn’t even think you had:
