One of the most significant trends in the world of technology has been the shift away from local storage and toward a cloud-based alternative. Large businesses that once hosted racks of servers are now relying instead of cloud-based storage to keep their networks safe and their resources available.

There are numerous cloud-based storage models available, from large server farms hosted by tech giants like Amazon to smaller operations established and maintained by smaller firms. No matter which solution you choose, moving from the local storage model to the cloud offers a number of benefits, from lower storage cost per gigabyte to greater efficiency and easier availability for traveling workers and remote clients. If your firm has not yet moved to the cloud, now is the perfect time to act.
