Ditch the tapes. Let the servers go. Take to File Sharing on the Cloud – seems to be the resonating message across the industry today. Unmistakably, companies seem to be shifting away from tapes, VPNs, and servers to file sharing and collaboration in the cloud and for good, obvious reasons indeed. Although Virtual Private Network (VPN) has been popular for a while now, the trend is leaving this technology panting to catch up with the new developments.
While it’s still not easy for companies to espouse online file sharing on the cloud, businesses have opened their arms for embracing the new technology to lower costs – otherwise associated with VPNs, hosting servers on their own, or by using tapes. From both managerial and financial standpoint, collaborating on the cloud seems to be the most cost-effective option yet.
The growing importance of seamless collaboration and the addition of new handheld devices and mobile devices – take your pick from smartphones to tablets, across OS such as Mac, Windows, and Android – is all pushing the need for online file sharing more than ever.
The traditional NFS (Network File Sharing) systems, servers, and VPN technologies are almost rendered useless thanks to the ever increasing challenge to adopt to the growing mobile workforce whereas the cloud just falls in, at the right time, to cater to this new trend.
A Market Landscape Study – as referred by Techtarget.com – claims that the benefits of file sharing service are primarily low costs, ease of use, and the ability to support any end-device (meaning mobile devices, tablets, etc.)
Yet another benefit is seamless collaboration – suddenly, every device can connect, files can be shared instantly, all data is instantly backed up and synchronized. In short, document sharing is a breeze today.
With the encryption in place, and a relentless pursuit of more solutions for total security on the cloud, document sharing over the cloud is secure too.
Is your company geographically dispersed? Do you have too many departments between which documents must be shared? Are you worried about loss of data? Have you been thinking about collaboration between teams, and within teams, across your organization? File sharing over the cloud could just be the thing that could answer all of your questions above.
