The 3 Advantages Of Utilizing a Cloud Partner For Data Backups

Contributed Article.  Author: Karen Miranda, ERP Consultant.

No one knows the importance of data backups than someone who has lost all of their data because they failed to put these measures in place, and if this is something that interests you, it might be a good idea to turn to a cloud partner for this specific purpose. Why opt for the services of a cloud company instead of the onsite option? The advantages are numerous, and getting to know each one can guide you in making the right decision.

Cost Effective

One of the biggest benefits of opting for a cloud partner to assist you with backups is that this is actually one of the most cost effective methods on the market. The alternative is to conduct all of your backups on your own, but this means investing in a costly server (or servers) so that you have enough space to store everything. Instead of going through all this trouble, you can simply opt for cloud storage that is quick, simple and will cost you a fraction of what you would have had to paid in the event that you took care of everything yourself…


Easy Installation

Going through the difficulties of actually installing hard drives, along with the software that you need to keep them running isn’t straightforward, particularly since you’ll want to ensure that you put security measures in place that will stand up to the strongest threats. Instead of going through all of this effort, you can leave the security in the hands of the professionals, and since they will most likely already have everything in place, there won’t be any need to worry about installations. Keep in mind that hard drives and servers can also get damaged, especially if they are stored in the corner of an office, or even in someone’s home, so leaving it in the capable hands of a company to store them properly can actually save someone a lot of time and effort.

Flexible Capacity

On site data backups require that individuals have enough storage space on their servers. Small businesses tend not to opt for costly servers (which are large enough to store more information) because they simply can’t afford them, but if they pick something that is too small, they could end up struggling when the server becomes too full. Opting for a cloud data backup means individuals can increase their data storage space as they need it.

Data backups are imperative, but opting for onsite servers isn’t.  Understanding the pros of cloud-based options could save you an enormous amount of time and effort in the long run.   For more information on cloud partners, contact us at goERPcloud today.
