There are several factors that have shown that technological advances drive the growth and development of companies, highlighting the cloud, by making available the tools that make our day-to-day work easier and more secure.

People around the world have been using the storage of data, files, emails or social networks for a long time, with an increase in their evolution, alternating drastically their habits of the past.

Although we personally do this on a daily basis and with more speed, companies go more slowly, especially SMEs because the concept of Cloud is sometimes understood as losing control over information.

Migrating to the cloud gives us mostly economic benefits, for example by reducing infrastructure costs and having the opportunity of a flexible strategy that adapts to the different workloads of the company without having to assume a rigid structure when it is no longer necessary.

Conditioning the necessary environment with immediate access to technologies can solve critical moments in the execution of intentions, plans or projects that would be very expensive if we try to recreate that environment locally.

Advantages that companies with Cloud services have perceived

Cloud Computing and the external data storage service

A storage service in the cloud is unlimited, with a multi-user structure that allows personalization depending on the particular needs of each user.
This translates into a measurable increase in productivity.

The access is fast and safe having our data from any device and place.

Traditional storage systems are expensive and expensive to maintain, while cloud storage does not require hardware, installation, maintenance personnel, or security measures that increase business costs.

With cloud storage, we do not need our own infrastructure to keep our data accessible and secure.

Some of the advantages offered by "the cloud" are.

• Savings of resources in infrastructure and economic savings.
• Multi-user structure with different levels of access permissions.
• Collaborative work.
• Data available and guarded 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
• More security by not being inside our company.
• Less threats in security.

There are also some disadvantages within "the cloud"

• The perception of loss of privacy of sensitive data.
• The data stored outside the network of our business could be abroad, which, according to the data we store, may violate the laws and data protection regulations of that country.
• If our Internet connection is unstable, you may have problems accessing your services.
• Automatic data backups and high levels of security are not guaranteed just by "uploading" them to the cloud.
