The future is in the cloud

More than ever, companies are tapping into the power of the cloud. Whether a disaster strikes, devices are misplaced, or you need to access files on the go, cloud storage can be a beneficial and reliable data solution. Here are a few reasons why businesses are switching over to the cloud.

Cost Efficiency

Purchasing equipment to build out and operate a data centre can be costly and time consuming for many businesses. Cloud computing reduces these costs and eliminates the added stress. Moving over to the cloud presents significant savings on hardware, facilities, utilities and other traditional computing requirements.

Heightened Security

People might not believe it, but cloud services provide a high-level security protocol to ensure that data is always protected. Cloud computing increases data security by following a layered approach that includes data encryption, key management, secure access controls, security intelligence and regular security audits.

Scalability and Flexibility
