Cloud Hosting Reduces Risk of Data Loss

by Bryan Finlayson
As super-storm Sandy pounded the East Coast this week, causing power outages and flooding, many public officials and office managers were unable to access their office computer applications. This problematic situation is why your organization should consider cloud hosting your applications with FileBank.
If FileBank hosted your applications, you’d be up and running and able to work from home despite a disaster event. That’s because FileBank offers safe, secure, and reliable cloud hosting services that ensure you’ll be able to access your applications, no matter where you are or what device you use.
A FileBank cloud hosting account gives you the peace of mind that your applications will be accessible from virtually anywhere. It also gives your organization an additional layer of redundancy for your data. Redundancy is important because it helps reduce the risk of data loss to your organization. Some of the ways that data redundancy via cloud hosting applications can help improve your organization’s performance include:
·         Reduced IT-related costs on hardware and software expenses
·         Improved value to the organization as a result of credible strategies to mitigate and manage records and information-related risks
·         Improved compliance with records and information-related regulatory requirements
·         Minimized operational disruptions
·         Improved management of information
·         Improved knowledge sharing throughout the organization
