Storing Data Safely Takes Dedication

The biggest concern with storing things on the cloud is security. If there is something that the NSA has shown the United States it is that privacy and security, at least from our own government, has been given up in the name of security. While that may not make you feel better about storing things on the cloud, unless you are going back to pen and paper, it really shouldn’t affect your decision about storing information on the cloud. Instead, you should focus on the security from other businesses and hackers getting to your information, as well as the security that your own server room would supply versus that of the cloud. Some storage companies offer a dedicated server Xeon that is yours to use without any other entity on that particular piece of hardware.

In a Disaster

As a business that stores its information in any sort of electronic format, you should have that information stored in at least two places. One of those places should be offsite and out of the state. That way if something happens to one server like an earthquake collapsing the room, your other server will be safe. Many companies have just stored both servers in the same place, and they lost everything when that place was damaged. Storing your information in the cloud means that your storage company is responsible for the backup and safety of the information. Chances are that they are already outside of your state, but you never have to worry about the collapse or destruction of your physical location affecting your electronic information.

Dedication

With a dedicated server Xeon, you are getting the fastest server available in that price range. Because the server is dedicated, you do not have to worry about someone else accidentally accessing your information. As far as hackers are concerned, it is your responsibility to keep your own passwords safe, but it is up to the storage company that people who do not have the passwords are not able to get in. It is nice to have that information at your fingertips anywhere you are and to know that it is safe.
