Cisco recently released an updated Cisco Cloud Index that predicts cloud based traffic will grow 33% per year over the next 5 years. They are also predicting that 55% of consumers will store personal information in the cloud by 2019 versus 42% in 2014. A large portion of this increase in cloud traffic will be due to the Internet of Things. Stay tuned to our blog next week for more information on the IoT.
Less than 20% of all data center activity will occur in an actual data center. Most IT companies will be operating on cloud based servers and storage devices. What we once thought was a “fad” is now clearly a permanent fixture in the consumer and business world. So how can you adapt this technology with your business?
The easiest way to determine where you can incorporate cloud based solutions into your business is with an IT audit assessment. This is when a company, like Datasmith, will come in to your business and analyze what you currently use for technology. We will assess risks, current practices, and past practices to determine what we can do to make your business stronger while implementing new, easier to use technologies.
A typical assessment will yield a customized plan for your business. At Datasmith we pride ourselves on incorporating a variety of current technology solutions.
