And let's talk about storage. Remeber those 3.5 inch, 1.44MB Floppy disks? A phone or a solid state drive with 256GB of storage would be equivalent to 182,016 of those 3.5" disks! How many is that? If you set those side by side - all 182,016 of them - those disks would stretch more than ten miles!
But what happens if you lose that data? What happens if you get a virus or get hit with Ransomware? If you lose your phone, you might be able to get back some of the photos, contacts, reminders and basic stuff like that - provided it was backed up either to a cloud or local device.
What if your computer hard drive fails? Unless you have a solid state drive installed, your hard drive is spinning, and spinning fast - at least 5400 times a minute! So it's usually not a question of if a hard drive will fail, it's a question of when. Even if you do have a solid state drive installed, that drive could reach a maximum read / write limit and it too could fail, even though it has no moving parts.
And let's consider all of the Cyber Security Threats or natural disaster possibilities that are out there. Even if you are using solid state drives and are backing up to a Network Attached Storage device - there are other factors that could affect your business critical data.
Malware. Viruses. Thefts. Environmental. And on.
Consider the true story of an architectural firm that needed some assistance with a backup plan. We received a frantic call from the owner and he indicated he desparately needed a solution to back up his business mission critical data. He realized he did not have a backup plan in place - however, the moment he came to this realization was at the worst possible time. He realized this when a fire broke out in the building!
As soon as the fire started, he evaluated the situation, and quickly remembered all of his data - all past projects, current projects, future proposals, customer and financial data - all resided on one computer. His entire business lived on that one machine. So he unplugged the computer, and carried the tower out of the burning building. As it turns out, the fire in the building was quickly extinguished and contained, with minimal damage.
But this is NOT the time to think about protecting your data!

This Cloud Thing - How Reliable Is it?
We use S3 Hot Cloud Data storage - the same stuff used by enterprise giants.
And now we can bring it to you! It is always on, always available and highly secure data storage. Your data is encrypted in transit and encrypted again once it reaches the cloud - with AES 256 bit encryption. It's reliable too! If you uploaded one million files, each one with a size of 1GB - you might lose one file every 659,000 years! Now that's reliable!
Your Data is Safe.
What happens if your computer gets hit with Ransomware? The files on your computer could be encrypted with a demand for payment to recover your files... Not to worry! Your data is checked for malware during upload and again on the server. And multiple versions are retained, so your data is safe. In fact, if there was a file edited or changed, or even deleted - you can go back to a previous version and get your data back quickly and easily!
