Why Cloud Makes Sense for Small Business
April 23, 2010 by Filip Tack · 1 Comment
The cloud storage space is quite cloudy these days with many new companies springing
up claiming they are offering more for less or even for free. Ever hear the saying, “You get what you pay for?” Here are some of the key elements of why cloud storage and collaboration makes sense for a SMB or SME, but shopping for the right solution matters. And finding the most secure and trusting solution provider makes all the difference.
Raining in Benefits from the Cloud – The main reasons why companies move to Cloud Computing:
Save Money; You won’t waste money buying and upgrading hardware and software or be bothered with having to pay for breakdowns.
Freedom; You are free to access your data from anywhere you have an internet connection (with Nomadesk, even where you don’t).
Save Time; There’s no more frustration or time lost waiting for IT problems and glitches to be fixed.
Peace of Mind; Enjoy the comfort of complete protection from unwanted surprises such as loss of data that could slow you up or even shut down your business, sometimes for good.
In a recent article published by Delfin Joaquin Paris III on BestTipsTechnology.com he outlines the key benefits of cloud storage for small businesses. Here is his list:
Synchronization; Cloud storage enables consumers to sync documents immediately between computer systems on the local system network. Cloud storage indicates you can reduce or eliminate the need for actually moving your data from one machine to another and even the need to email documents around the office.
Collaboration; Similar to GoogleDocs, a lot of cloud-storage suppliers now allow customers to view and modify data (spreadsheets, presentations, as well as word processing documents, as an example) by means of an online portal. This is especially a good choice for supporting geographically dispersed employees to work with others instantly.
File Sharing; Large video clip, music, and image art documents can easily choke your company’s e-mail system. And also e-mailing vulnerable documents could raise security worries. Several cloud storage providers currently offer drag and drop efficiency that allows you to safely and securely copy significant or confidential records.
Security; It could be counter-intuitive, but cloud storage is in fact a great deal more protected than many small to mid-sized businesses are able to do in-house. At many smaller organizations, locally filed data are at threat from theft, fire, software issues, and computer failure. Cloud storage will offer built-in redundancy at every level: hard disk, machine, and data center.
Always On; Whenever small to mid-sized businesses’s ISP goes offline, or when ones router fails, or even whenever the server has problems, or you (or perhaps a person in your IT personnel) pulls the incorrect switch, your complete company can lose usage of data and services. Cloud storage services must be professionals at uptime and service accessibility. Their particular uptime records are often a lot better than what can be done by yourself. Also, since many cloud storage providers cache data locally in addition to on the internet, even if the service goes down or perhaps you lose your online connection you’ve still got usage of important computer data.

Nomadesk released an updated version of the mobile access site last week. With the release of the new mynomadesk.mobi site, your fileservers and important documents are even easier to access. The new mobile site is updated for all smartphones and optimized for the iPhone. In our first installment of Tips & Tricks we’ll show you how Nomadesk takes advantage of iPhone functions by allowing you to create a button on your home screen with a few simple steps to make it even easier to access.
Open the Safari browser on your iPhone and navigate to mynomadesk.mobi. When the login screen is loaded, tap on the “+” at the bottom of the screen.
An option screen will pop up from the bottom. Tap on the middle button, “Add to Home Screen”.
A dialog screen will appear with the option to label the home screen button. Click the “add” button in the top right of the screen when you’re done with the label. Hint: The home screen will only show the first 12 characters.
The icon is now on your home screen and selecting it will take you directly to the login screen of mynomadesk.mobi where your synced files will be ready for you to access. The Nomadesk icon can be moved and arranged like an app icon.
