Cloud Backup Service securely, reliably, and efficiently protects your organization’s critical data, directly over the Internet, automatically from desktop, laptop, and server; through easy configurations of desired backup policies and monitor your backups.
Disaster Recovery (DR) is the process an organization uses to recover access to their software, data, and/or hardware that are needed to resume the performance of normal, critical business functions after the event of either a natural disaster or a disaster caused by humans.
While Disaster Recovery plans often focus on bridging the gap where data, software, or hardware have been damaged or lost, one cannot forget the vital element of manpower that composes much of any organization.
Over the years we have seen the cloud debate moving from Infrastructure to Services and Applications.
More and more CIO’s and CFO’s have started looking at the cloud as a medium to transform the way existing applications are running and experienced by the user or a way to innovate and support new activities. Today, they are more open to assess the added value of migrating their existing applications to the cloud.
For instance, there are a lot of questions companies need to ask themselves prior to embarking on such a journey. For example
Today, majority of companies have adopted the hybrid cloud model, with the core agenda being security, governance and to keep a tab on the cost.
A lot of companies across the globe use the cloud for:
The Internet of Things (IoT), also referred to as Internet of Everything, is the network of physical objects or “things” embedded with electronics, software, sensors and connectivity to enable objects to exchange data with production, operator and/ or other connected devices.
The Internet of Things allows objects to be sensed and controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure, creating opportunities for more direct integration between the physical world and computer-based systems, and resulting in improved efficiency, accuracy and economic benefit. Each thing is uniquely identifiable through its embedded computing system but is able to inter-operate within the existing internet infrastructure.
“Experts estimate that the IoT will consist of almost 50 billion objects by 2020”
Things, in the IoT refer to:
The ability of things to sense their environment and report on it is immensely useful. Things can increasingly report on their own status, as well as tell us what they are doing and plan to do, which adds another layer of richness to the mix. Things can perform actions for us on request. And in an evolving IoT marketplace, more value can be derived from services related to those connected things than the things themselves.
Another integral part of IoT is how M2M (Machine to Machine) allows both wireless and and wired systems to communicate with other devices of the same type. This integration between the two brings several benefits to the industry and business in general as it has a wide range of applications mostly for monitoring but also for control purposes such as:
