Very often clients ask us for a quick and dirty solution for either syncing data between remote computers or sharing files with other users on the Internet. If you do not have a VPN solution at your office or do not want to deal with the management of VPN and remote access, there are a few online solutions out there that are both secure and offer a decent amount of storage.
One of the best solutions out there is Dropbox. For free… yes that is correct… FREE. Dropbox provides you with 2 GB of online storage. With that storage, you can sync the files with your computer, so that your files can be accessed by another computer of yours or by others that you grant access to (Public folder). And since everything is web-based, the sync and access works with Windows, Mac, and even Linux computers. For users who need more than 2 GB of storage, Dropbox offers up to 100 GB plans and you can find the pricing plans here: http://www.dropbox.com/pricing

Cloud computing is the concept that an organization hosts its data and/or systems on the Internet, or “the cloud” at a dedicated hosting facility. Most of our clients tend to cringe when they think about their data leaving their office and going out on the Internet. So why do a lot of companies make the move to the cloud?
The biggest reason for making the move to the cloud is the benefit of not having the upfront and ongoing costs of purchasing hardware or software. Rather than purchasing a server, most businesses would rather pay a flat fee of $125/month and not have to deal with the issues of owning a server – upfront costs, monthly maintenance, disaster recovery, and even backups.
Most data centers, like ours, are more reliable and secure than any office building. Our data center, which is SAS 70 Type II certified, offers 24/7 security, power protection with gas generators, multiple Internet connections for redundancy, and data backup solutions.
