An essential guide to cloud storage

The earliest and still most used cloud storage services were designed for backing up small organizations’ data. Today, many of those services have upgraded their products to serve enterprise clients as well. According to Storage magazine/SearchStorage.com research, the next most popular application for cloud storage is disaster recovery. Combined with server virtualization, cloud storage can provide an agile, inexpensive route to business continuity.

Check out this exclusive, expert Essential Guide to learn more about cloud backup and DR today.

  • Cloud Storage: A list of applications to move there now

    Cloud storage has taken today's IT market by storm, but many companies are hesitant to put all - or any - of their data into it. A good way to start, or to see if cloud storage could be right for your organization, is by putting non-strategic applications in the cloud. It can be quite difficult to prioritize and determine what data is appropriate to start with, and that's where this SearchCloudStorage.com E-Guide comes in.

    Check out this expert resource, featuring storage pro Rich Castagna, to learn how to decide which applications are non-critical and access a list of example "generic" data ideal to "try out" storing in the cloud. Explore Storage magazine survey results regarding cloud backup and see what other storage admins have to say about putting their data in the cloud.

  • Addressing Data Security In The Cloud And Low Cost Large File Transfer

    This expert resource helps you discover how to properly store data in the cloud. (Learning that ignoring the physical loca­tion of cloud data is one of the major mis­takes made all too often.) This E-Guide also addresses how to transfer large files safely without having to pay the typical hefty price tag it typically takes to do so.

    For example, download and discover the top security issues usually associated with large file transfers and the little-known low-cost options (e.g., cloud services, SSH FTP and the like) that are now available to ensure file transfer activity isn't a data breach waiting to happen. In short, you get a soup-to-nuts understanding of the of the best options to consider when securing the file transfer needs of a business, and gain valuable insights as to why failing to address insecure file transfer activity is such a major mistake that could cause sensitive data to leak out of a network at alarming rates. If you’re focused on storage, networking, security or related topics, this resource is a must read.
