Virtual Machines – Cloud Storage
Here at the Right Click we understand that the business landscape is changing rapidly, more businesses are opting to work from home making it difficult to work off a central server solution. We believe Cloud computing is the way forward. Allowing you to work from anywhere, all that is required is an internet connection and subscription to a Virtual Machine ( VM).
What is a virtual machine and how does it work?
Virtual machines ( VMs) allow you to run an operating system in an app window on your desktop that behaves like a full, separate computer often based in the cloud.
The main purpose of VMs is to operate multiple operating systems or User profiles at the same time, from the same piece of hardware. This is ideal for accounting packages.
Are virtual machines safe?
A virtual machine (VM) is a fake computer running inside your real computer. … For this reason, security researchers often use VMs to study viruses: They unleash them on their guest VMs to safely monitor what they’re trying to do and how they work, without risking their host computer. Your VM is also backed up in the cloud ensuring minimal downtime in the unlikely case the VM goes down. Allowing for a quick and seamless restoration of your data.
But what exactly is the cloud?
Simply put, the cloud is the Internet—more specifically, it’s all of the things you can access remotely over the Internet. When something is in the cloud, it means it’s stored on Internet servers instead of your computer’s hard drive.
What is cloud back up?
Cloud backup is a service in which the data and applications on a business’s servers are backed up and stored on a remote server. Businesses opt to back up to the cloud to keep files and data readily available in the event of a system failure, outage or natural disaster.
Are cloud backups safe?
Yes, your data is relatively safe in the cloud—likely much more so than on your own hard drive. In addition, files are easy to access and maintain. However, cloud services ultimately put your data in the hands of other people.
Can you lose data on the cloud?
You see, cloud data is stored in multiple locations, making it exceptionally difficult to lose. If you ever experience difficulty retrieving your data from the cloud, it can always be retrieved from another data centre. Since data center storage is decentralized in nature, it’s actually much safer
Who owns the cloud?
The short answer is that you own the data you create, but the cloud service provider has ultimate control over it. This is reflected in many providers’ terms of service which state that they can hold on to the data to comply with legal regulations.
