Cloud technology allows us to store a lot of information in special computer warehouses called data centers. These warehouses are located all over the world and are only accessible via the Internet. Instead of keeping our information on USB drives or computers, we can store it online in the cloud.
Hotmail and Yahoo Mail are services that allow us to send and receive electronic mail. Other companies like Google and Microsoft also have programs, like Google Docs and Office Online, that work the same way. They let us do things like write documents or make spreadsheets without having to install anything on our own computers.
Also, Microsoft and Google offer free space in the Cloud to store things such as images or files. They also have apps that work on different types of phones, such as iPhone or Android.
Advantages of using Cloud Technology
Capacity:
In such hardware storage, you can store a lot of things and it does not consume much space on your computer. This means you have more space on your computer and it doesn’t take long to respond.
Convenience:
Also, you don’t need to carry USBs, hard drives or other things to store your stuff. You only need internet to manage all your apps and files from any device like phone or computer. It is also very easy to share information with your friends or colleagues.
Updates:
Another advantage is that all users receive regular updates.
Backup:
Moreover, it provides you with automatic backup of data outside of your business.
Cost:
In this case, the cost is proportional to the use of the service and the space one needs.
Security
Cloud companies have the infrastructure and expertise to keep your data completely secure. Losing your data is very difficult, and if, for example, you have some photographic material on your mobile phone that is damaged or lost, the material is also lost. So, you don’t need to worry about the antivirus program you should have on your computer to protect your files.
Of course, before using a company’s cloud services, it’s best to know the encryption codes for the data they use, the security software they have in place, the data breach history they’ve had, and the countermeasures they’ve implemented in previous data breach incidents.
All companies keep data safe, but there are also specialized hackers and secret services that try to steal confidential information.
Types of Cloud Subscriptions
1)Private Cloud: runs privately.
2)Community Cloud: shared across multiple organizations, supporting specific communities with shared interests.
3)Public Cloud: available to large companies or the general public.
3)Hybrid Cloud: two or more clouds are interconnected to allow data to be transferred from one cloud to another.
Final Thoughts
Finally, cloud is a technology that has the potential to change the way we see the internet and integrate technology into our daily lives.
It always focuses on data and information rather than physical objects. Instead of being stored on a hard drive or USB flash drive, this data exists in an online location on a server.
The Cloud services offered by CustomLAB are hosting (hosting of web-based software applications & websites on managed dedicated and semi-dedicated servers). It also provides you with storage box (storage spaces in the cloud) and NAS file server (study and installation of local File Servers).
