What are the benefits of cloud storage?

Cloud storage uses offsite virtual machines to store and backup your data. If you haven’t moved to cloud storage or cloud computing, you may want to know the benefits of cloud storage.

Seamless collaboration and file sharing

Large files can be stored in the cloud and easily distributed and synchronized across multiple devices. Employees and customers can collaborate from multiple locations on the go, even working from home, without losing data. Multiple programs and apps can assist organizations in collaborating effectively through the cloud. Microsoft Teams and other apps in Microsoft 365 are great for cloud computing and collaboration.

Cost efficiency and scalability

Your organization may have accumulated large servers onsite or offsite as your organization grew. Or what if you’re scaling down your organization and no longer need so many servers or ones that are as large? You may also be planning to expand your organization’s computer needs and are unsure how to get what you need for expansion and possible future growth cost-effectively.

With cloud computing and storage, you get the services and storage you need and can scale up or down as your situation changes. It’s also less expensive to store than most physical servers.

Data loss prevention and backup solutions

Cloud storage provides more protection against data loss than local storage solutions. Offsite storage also allows you to back up your data more efficiently and access it easily if you need it.

Environmentally friendly and energy efficient

One lesser-discussed benefit of cloud storage is that it’s more environmentally friendly and energy efficient for your organization. Without relying on physical storage, you are not sending unneeded or unworking physical components that don’t biodegrade well to landfills. Also, since you no longer have to maintain these local machines, you are saving money on electricity.
