Latest Technology Product - Cloud



I've recently read an article about Cloud storage for mobile devices that basically discussed how some IT workers are not aware of cloud storage and are in jeopardy of very important data if equipment is damaged or stolen.
Cloud storage means different things to different people depending on how it’s implemented. The most common implementation is a ‘public cloud’, which is essentially storage capacity accessed through the Internet or a wide area network (WAN) connection, and purchased on an as-needed basis. Users can expand capacity almost without limit, by contacting the provider, which typically operates a highly scalable storage infrastructure, sometimes in physically dispersed locations.
Cloud storage is a new distribution model, however, with the potential for economies of scale. Aside from cost, its benefits are outsourced operation, simple, unlimited growth and ‘enterprise’ features for smaller users - like high availability, security, data protection, etc.

Dropbox is a free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. Never email yourself a file again!
