Storage Decisions 2015 – What Attendees Learned About Cloud Storage

Storage Decisions 2015 was held in New York just last month. The panel of experts at the conference took the time to answer questions about how today’s data storage industry is affected by storage technologies, vendors and strategies. While the questions directed at the experts revolved around cloud storage, flash spinning disk and even tape storage technologies and methods, it became apparent that cloud backup and storage methods offer viable and reliable solutions to those looking for a safe, secure and easy way to back up data.

Let’s take a closer look at what the attendees learned about cloud storage at Storage Decisions 2015:

• One particular expert, Ben Woo, advised attendees that cloud storage provides an essential disaster recovery method for businesses that place importance on flexibility, convenience and affordability.
• Marc Staimer also stated that the real advantage of cloud storage is its flexibility. With cloud solutions in place, there’s no need to hire employees to handle file storage, maintenance, updating and similar. The system handles it for you – and that’s sheer convenience.
• Jon Toigo made it clear that in order to operate your business successfully in the cloud; you need a reliable network and internet service. With reliable connectivity you can confidently operate your business smoothly and have access to info on demand.

It seemed to be a general agreement amongst the experts that hanging onto data for longer than necessary, or data that is no longer relevant or required by the business, is simply poor storage practice. This type of storage will cost the business money in the long run. If you want efficient systems and storage folders that only contain relevant and valuable data to the business, make sure that you analyse and update your storage files regularly and trash data that you no longer need. George Crump however, added that one should always be careful that the data being deleted is really no longer required.

It is without a doubt that business owners attending Storage Decisions 2015 left with a better understanding of cloud storage and how to deal with it for the best possible results and savings going forward.
