The basic principle of growing the business is finding the best person to get the job done, with reasonable cost That is why the payroll is outsourced to ADP; In-house Email Server replaced by Google Apps Premier; Business contacts are managed unix hosting by Salesforce com Your in-house data storage will grow as your business grows Over time, it will become expensive For instance, it may take a couple of days to backup 50G data to a FTP server It will take 200 days to do the same thing for 5 Terabytes of data Your business premise commonly is the slowest link to the Internet

It will not be a good plan to have local storage grow to a level that it is hard to shift to a different site over the Internet 1 Shift Your Email Server Out First People dont typically feel electronic mail as storage but it is with all the messages and attachments If you keep it local, over time you will have to improve the electronic mail servers It is best to shift it out early on Google Apps or Microsoft Windows Live could be good choices 2

Leverage Online Storage Suites If you dont use an web based storage space suite, employees typically will just send electronic mail attachments around for sharing and collaboration You may have a SharePoint server in house for that reason but over time, you will run into storage space troubles again There are plenty of web based storage suites around, such as Google Docs, Windows Live SkyDrive, Box net You can without difficulty share documents with your co-workers through these online services All that you require is a fast and simple desktop access tool to Google Docs, SkyDrive or Box net which is what Cloud Hero offers

You can now use Cloud Hero to move and sync data documents and folders with Google and Box net see 3 Use Cloud Storage As a Backup Target If you are using a local PC, you cant discontinue local storage from increasing However, you can backup key data to cloud storage There are plenty cloud storage services around, such as Amazon S3, AT&T Synaptic Storage and so on 4 Use Cloud Storage As Tier 2 Storage You may have a local file server shared by everyone in the office

Over time, the file server will grow older and run out of disk space You need to be ready to replace it every 2-3 years One of the best practices is to have cloud storage attached to it as tier 2 storage space After you take care of the email storage, collaboration storage space and backup storage space, the file server storage space will not grow as fast so it will last longer With cloud storage attached as tier 2, you now have a subsequent copy of the information in case anything goes wrong with the file server It is more of a business continuity and disaster recovery solution With Cloud Heros 2-way automatic sync the PC and the cloud account at Google will always be redundant see 5

Look into the Future The best could be that there is no local storage where your desktop is in the cloud too Everything else is an online application delivered through a web browser This way, as an alternative to needing a physical IT infrastructure, you have a virtual infrastructure Cloud storage space will still be around, the only difference is the access point changed from local desktop to cloud desktop and on-line applications This is why Cloud Hero is a perfect management tool to allow full duplication of your business data is being completed automatically on every file when it is modified See < for more details
