LaneSystems: May Overview
03 June 2021
“If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship, don’t ask what seat! Just get on”, Sheryl Sandberg, #motivationmonday.
We could all use a little motivation at times and what better than a fantastic quote after a wonderful bank holiday that’s been full of sunshine?Across May, the team at LaneSystems have been focusing upon Cloud Services and how these are of great benefit to many SMEs across the North East, UK and of course, globally.
So what exactly are the pros of cloud storage for businesses?
We determined six of the most valuable advantages attached to the use of using the Cloud for storage solutions:
1. Easy to access
2. Saves company’s money
3. Forms part of a disaster recovery plan
4. Simple scalability
5. Runs extremely quickly
6. Storage immortality
The beauty of Cloud Services is the fact users can gain direct access to important company files and data from literally anywhere with an internet connection. This has potentially been a ‘business saver’ for many across the last year. Secondary to easy access is the Cloud’s ability to be used as a backup. Should any of your data be compromised, you’ll rest safe in the knowledge there’s a copy just waiting for you.
Pay as You Go
Companies often find when switching to the Cloud, expenses reduce as the only storage paid for is that which is used. Scale space right the way up to make room for important projects or reduce it accordingly as and when required.

The Cloud is here to stay and progress.
Is it time you investigated the change? In addition to the major advantages attached to the Cloud, there are some cons to be aware of. Now these cons are definitely not disadvantages as opposed to points to be aware of and questions you may wish to ask a potential Cloud provider:
1. Security & Privacy
2. Limitations of Bandwidth
3. Potential Vulnerabilities
4. Data Management
5. Lifetime Costs
6. Compliance
Important Questions
1. How do your Cloud Solutions ensure the safety of my files and data?
2. How much bandwidth is available with my package?
3. Are your systems fully up to date and how often do you carry out said updates?
4. Can I transfer my existing files and data across with ease based on your product's structure?
5. Will the increase of lifetime costs hit my company negatively?
6. Does my industry allow for the use of Cloud Storage Solutions?
And finally, some humour!
“Don’t use ‘beef stew’ as a password. It’s not STROGANOFF!
Have a great June and let’s hope the sun stays shining!
