by Piyush Rakhecha in Cloud, General
Working from home used to be a choice given to employees but it is the norm during these unprecedented times. In a span of just a few months, the coronavirus pandemic has forced each one of us to think and live differently. Organizations have had to figure out new paradigms to support their workforce to ensure continuity, agility and productivity. Cloud has become an important aspect in making this happen.
The role of cloud storage
Over the past few years, increasing number of organizations have been moving towards enabling workforce to work from home. The availability of Cloud infrastructure makes this transition relatively pain free. Organizations are able to use the flexibility of the cloud to redefine the concept of work from home. From using virtual desktops such as AWS Workspace to secured storage of data on the cloud, organizations are innovating to ensure work continues in a seamless manner irrespective of the location.
Cloud storage has enabled organizations to streamline their processes, allow remote and secure access of data and offer a standardized environment to employees. Some of the prominent features include:
- Storage on cloud in security certified Cloud data centers saves on compliance headache as well as cost
- Data redundancy and replication is much easier to set-up with availability of distributed cloud data centers. This allows for an extra layer of protection and reinforce backup
- Data tiering ability to create seamless flow of data between different storage tiers
- Complete protection through proper authentication and endpoint encryption
- Flexible data storage and remote access options for you to work from anywhere
Benefits of cloud storage
While working from home, organizations stand to gain immensely from harnessing the potential of cloud storage.
Easier to access data: Accessing and managing data remotely across multiple projects is made relatively simple and hassle free with cloud storage.
Retrieving lost data: It is a living nightmare if data gets accidentally lost, however, with cloud storage and automatic backups, the possibility of retrieving lost data is far more and the risks are reduced significantly.
Better collaboration: Though collaboration can be a challenge in a remote working environment, cloud storage enables employees to collaborate seamlessly to ensure increased productivity and communication among team members.
Enhanced Security: In comparison to traditional IT systems, the data stored in cloud is more secure with tighter access controls and less prone to hardware failures. Organizations with a robust security system will be able to easily track breaches.
