Cloud Storage Services in Rhode Island

The cloud has changed the way business is done in Rhode Island and throughout the world. With organizations handling most of their data and documents digitally, the communication landscape and the way we share data, documents, and ideas have fundamentally changed.

In one sense, organizations can be more productive via fast file access and sharing. In another vein, companies save time by having documents in cloud instead of in old, bulky filing cabinets where records are misfiled and hard to find.

What is the Cloud?

The cloud is a system of offsite servers that individuals and businesses use to store their digital files and media. The servers are managed by a hosting company and individuals and organizations buy or rent digital space from them.

This often over-complicated concept is actually quite simple. An individual may use cloud storage to store their photos and music, rather than storing that information on their phone. A business may use the cloud to store essential documents and data.

The hosting company is responsible for the upkeep of the servers and ensuring that their users have constant access to their stored information.
