Online storage is an emerging method of data storage and back-up. A remote server with a high-speed network connection and specialized software continuously backs up critical company files, databases, or the entire contents of a hard drive.
One rapidly growing technology in this domain is cloud computing. This allows teams and engineers in an organization to share database resources, enterprise software, and mission-critical information seamlessly over the Internet without maintaining massive physical server rooms locally.
Continuous off-site backup eliminates the devastating risk of data loss or theft caused by electrical fires, water damage, or hardware failure. Furthermore, leading cloud backup providers always encrypt user information with high-grade algorithms and require two-factor authentication.
