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!
