If your business is struggling maintaining storage for your files, you have come to the right place. Let’s take a dive into the world of Cloud Computing. What is Cloud Computing? you may say. Well Cloud Computing is the distribution of computing services over the internet. Some examples of such computing services are storage, databases, servers, analytics etc.
Below we have listed some benefits your business could profit from when thinking of moving to ‘The Cloud’.
Security
No matter how you decide to store your surveillance footage, security is a big factor that you need to consider when choosing the right Cloud Computing provider. Since the service is hosted via the internet, it would make security a crucial matter. Usually when you decide to use a cloud storage service, your data is stored across the many data centres the service provider has. So, if a data centre were to collapse, your data would be secure as your data is then passed onto another data centre.
Usability
What’s the point of using a cloud service, if it’s difficult to navigate through and use?
Being able to use a cloud service should be simple and shouldn’t require extra training. Nowadays, most cloud service providers maintain a user-friendly design making it easier for even the inexperienced. With using a user-friendly cloud service, you’re able to access and share your files a lot quicker than physical storage,

With making use of physical storage, you’re going to have to keep backing your data up regularly, however with cloud storage, you don’t need to worry about creating a back up as the service provider has created many for you.
Cost effective
Not only is the usability of the cloud beneficial, but the fact that it costs less to store your files onto the cloud.
