Showdown: Encrypted Cloud Storage vs. External Hard Drives
Gone are the days when people used personal computers just to write letters or work on spreadsheets. No, these days, computers (and even our smartphones) help us do everything from booking reservations and conversing with friends and family to filing our taxes and everything in between. Also, let us not forget how many of us use our systems as entertainment sources with social media and video streaming. Consequently, we store and keep more data on our devices than ever before. And, if you’re like most people, a lot of that data is stuff you don’t want to lose. Therefore, in this article, we will discuss backing up your data to external hard drives and encrypted cloud storage, as well as the pros and cons of each.

Acronis-Microsoft Cloud Partnership Helps Supersize Service Provider Profitability
It’s never been easier for businesses to take advantage of the data security and other benefits the cloud delivers. Indeed, today the security, cost-effectiveness and easy scalability of the cloud compels companies to seek out and leverage solutions – which is driving tremendous growth in data center usage. In fact, the seventh annual Cisco Global Cloud Index report projects that by 2021, 94 percent of workloads and compute instances will be processed by cloud data centers and 73 percent of those instances will be in public cloud data centers. When it comes to cloud storage, the landscape is nuanced. Companies have different requirements – from how much businesses need, to where data is stored, and beyond – which makes a one-size-fits-all option quite challenging. To meet varying needs, business growth requires data-storage choice. The good news is that delivering such choice means business opportunities for IT service providers, provided they have the right partnership in place.
