What is The Cloud?

Business-class Email Support for Your SMB in PA from I.T. Shield, LLC

The cloud is not a physical entity. It is a network of servers throughout the world that function as one ecosystem. These servers store your data, applications and content, such as movies or music.

If you are using any of the streaming media programs (Apple Music, Pandora, Netflix or Hulu) you are using the cloud. If you are using a browser-based email from your Internet provider (e.g. Comcast) you are using the cloud. If you do on-line banking, you are using the cloud.

Is The Cloud Safe?

People who have not embraced the use of cloud-based applications have cited several reasons:

Security
Lack of Control
Reliability

These reasons are valid concerns for everyone. However, the concerns need to be viewed in relationship to what it takes for your company to provide the same level of Security, Control and Reliability that the online companies are providing.

If your company has one or two technical people, they cannot provide the same level of security and reliability as the online companies and do it 24x7x365 days a year!

It’s been reported that SMBs could achieve better security, privacy and reliability those who do not use the cloud (ref. comScore Inc. )
