RAMSEY, N.J., March 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Comport, a leading disaster recovery provider of cloud storage solutions and business applications, recently held a dialog on four essential business tasks that can be aided significantly by cloud storage. While many are looking towards cloud storage for efficiencies, agility and added protection, it's not always easy to determine what to put where and understand how it will impact performance. Here's some crucial business elements we have seen moving towards cloud storage.

Mission Critical Workloads – Cloud storage has traditionally been focused around BaaS and/ or DRaaS as organizations increase the priority of preparations for cyber-attacks or natural disasters. A silent but approaching leader in cloud storage is IaaS for mission critical workloads and applications so that organizations can leverage top security and managed services to help keep their doors open in the event of an issue.
Archived Data – Unfortunately, many of today's businesses still have hundreds of terabytes or maybe worse petabytes of data in a data center on tape collecting dust. Is tape dead? No, but it's certainly not the most robust form of archiving without continual testing or monitoring. When you have data that needs to be retained but doesn't need to be frequently accessed, data archive solutions with public cloud providers are an ideal solution.
Cloud based applications – Moving to Office 365 and hosting your emails, share point and one drive data in the cloud doesn't ensure your data will be there when you need it. Did you know that cloud applications such as Office 365 only retain data for a period of time? Email data can be mission critical and many organizations require the data to be retained for compliance. Cloud-based protection can extend the life of this data without a complete overhaul.
Website Hosting/E-Commerce Sites - Websites, and e-commerce sites in particular, are becoming imperative for business. What would happen if your site went down? Not only does e-commerce depend on website availability, it also depends on speed and real time updates for customers. One hour of downtime for an E-Commerce business can equate to hundreds of thousands of lost revenues. Is this a chance you are willing to take?

"Traditional business applications are finding new life in the cloud," said Eric Krucker, Chief Technology Officer at ComportSecure. "You can create a more secure and efficient organization by upgrading many of your old processes into the virtual world, not to mention a larger return on investment.

Statistics for cloud storage showcase a huge investment into the technology coming from enterprise-level organizations and small businesses alike. The amount of lost revenue in 2018 because of a lack of business continuity and disaster recovery amounted to around $90 billion. The cloud storage market in general, and Comport specifically, has a goal of upgrading the security, access and flexibility of your environment to create better, more responsive businesses.
