Understanding The Cloud and Data Storage Solutions

Most of us understand what MB and GB means, and that is how data is counted. We might have a USB that says 4GB, and that is how much data it can store. Online, you can use The Cloud to store your data using free cloud services such as that of iCloud. But, what if the data that you need to store is enormous?

Gain Savings from Storage Solutions Services

The advantages of using cloud storage services include massive amount of savings for businesses. It is the way also for a small company or even a one-man team to be at par with those who have their own hardware for data storage. Most of us have access to The Cloud, like when we listen to a podcast instead of downloading it to our phones. The Cloud is there to hold what is known as digital assests, such as images, documents, videos, and more. Using The Cloud means that it is possible to access these things that can be enormous files that would consume a lot of space and might not even fit the capacity of a mobile device or computers. Big companies typically have servers for storage, management, and processing of data as these have the hardware and features that most desktops do not have.

Free cloud services do have a limit and even if you have a server, it has a limit also.

For larger storage, and one that does have the security, and features like what techies would need, or one that does have the capacity to be user-friendly, with the options for advanced customization, there is a cloud service that does the tasks that we need, provides the consultancy, has the capacity, simplifying the accessing and retrieval, and can save you up to 98% of data storage expense as it greatly cuts the cost of hardware purchase, upgrade, used office space, and even may reduce the need for manpower.

To make understanding the why we need an excellent cloud service, a good example would be that of power sources. We cannot be totally dependent on a generator for power and must plug in. When there is no electricity, we must use the generator. The electrical outlet is like The Cloud, and we should have a power source that suits our requirements, which is a cloud service. For more power, one needs a larger cloud service.

It is possible that the internet will drop. And, there are times that it means the free cloud storage can get messed up. To prevent that occurrence from becoming a data tragedy, it is best to use a paid cloud service for the additional support required to prevent that tragedy from happening.

Expert data storage can make the IT infrastructure less complex, and will refine and advance the data center for maximum efficiency. How you store your data is vital, as you must have the right cloud service that will accommodate the growth, and protect it. Ideally, for important data, there should be a backup, an archive, disaster recover, storage encryption, and data protection. An expert cloud service can plan these things for you so that the requirements met.

If you want to store data the right way, and plan for the future so that your needs are met, there is Nexus-InfoFabrica, that has cloud services to suit your requirements. Contact +632 555.2400 or email to john.defiesta@infofabrica.com.

Nexus, InfoFabrica of Singapore partner to deliver comprehensive Cloud services

Nexus Technologies, Inc. (Nexus), a top enterprise solutions provider and information technology (IT) reseller, today inked a partnership with InfoFabrica (IFF) of Singapore to provide Hybrid Cloud services across the enterprise, commercial and SME sectors in the Philippines. 

This alliance, through Nexus-InfoFabrica, Inc., aims to bring proven Cloud solutions from the leading Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, IBM Softlayer, and Google to local companies gearing towards Cloud services.

The joint venture merges Nexus’s proven coverage of the local market’s IT requirements, and IFF’s Cloud skillset. IFF is recognized as an early adopter of the Hybrid Cloud platform, and maintains a strong presence in the ASEAN region with their Cloud consulting services.

According to Gartner, Inc., worldwide Public Cloud Services are expected to grow by 18% in 2017 to a total of $246.8 billion, up from $209.2 billion in 2016. The highest growth will come from Cloud system infrastructure services (infrastructure as a service [IaaS]), which is projected to grow by 36.8 percent in 2017 to reach $34.6 billion. Cloud application services (software as a service [SaaS]) is expected to grow by 20.1 percent to reach $46.3 billion.

“There is a huge opportunity for Philippine companies, big or small, to take advantage of what Cloud services have to offer,” said John Defiesta, Nexus-InfoFabrica Country Sales Manager. “Our direction is to guide companies through the entire process of shifting their business processes to the Cloud -- whether from an on-premise environment to the Cloud, or to manage a mix of both on-premise and Cloud environments,” he added.

Aside from CSP product offerings, Nexus-InfoFabrica will provide value-added professional and managed services to its clients such as migration from on-premise to the Cloud environment and vice versa, data center replication, infrastructure consulting, and Cloud architecture and design. Potential clients can also conduct proof-of-concept testing, free of charge, at a VMware-and-Cloud laboratory based in IFF-Singapore.

Nexus-InfoFabrica will also address security concerns associated with conducting business on the Cloud. Most customer qualms point to Cloud security operations such as maintaining compliance, identity and access management, dealing with advanced threats, insufficient visibility, and consistent controls. 

“Customers are assured that they not only gain access to the CSP’s fraud detection systems and governance and compliance security solutions. They also have the full support of the Nexus-IFF team to help them ward off security threats and create a safer environment for their business on the Cloud,” concluded Defiesta.
