Cloud data management is the assessment of your company data in the cloud and outside the cloud. After all, not every cloud service provider has 100% guarantees about the backup and recovery of your data. You want to ensure that your business is up and running. So, many organizations opt for cloud data systems to reduce overall costs and improve workflow but need help organizing and managing data across cloud platforms for collaboration, cost containment, or to create more efficiency. For those organizations who want to be cloud conscious and who rely on cloud data, we also recommend solid backup and recovery strategies to ensure that your cloud data is backed up properly so that, no matter what happens, your data is accessible and your business is up and running. Ipoint Networks is able to assist by providing on-premise storage, data storage tier for disaster recovery, backup and long-term archiving.

Understanding Cloud Data Management?
Backing Up Your Cloud Data
While cloud data management is widely used, there are important strategies that can help you create redundancy to ensure that your data is always accessible. We call this cloud consciousness. Some organizations require a hybrid approach for more secure data options, or perhaps a backup and recovery strategy to ensure redundancy in the event of a crisis. Ipoint Networks provides a holistic approach to technology which allows us to make recommendations that make the most sense for your business. This is an important differentiator because, for us, it’s not just selling a technology product or service, it’s the service and support long after that matters.

Cloud Management for SMEs
In many small businesses, a variety of cloud services are utilized and adopted as the company grows. This may cause a creep in costs over time or unexpected spikes during busy seasons. In particular, cloud subscriptions to Google Drive, OneDrive, or Box may begin to add up to large dollars over time. In many cases, Ipoint Networks can help you consolidate these cloud services for cost savings or move them to another provider for more security.
In larger organizations, clients may see a significant rise in cost, based on the number of users, amount of data storage, or vendor-specific resource units. Speed and performance may also be a factor impacting efficiencies.
Technology and security are also major factors that every business must consider when choosing cloud data management services. Not all cloud services are created equally.
