Nearly every business today thrives off of data. Data can come in a wide range of forms including data gathered from customer transactions, customer reviews, employee details, performance reports, and financial records of a company.

Such information is continuously updated and thoroughly analyzed to enhance the company’s services or products as well as the performance of its employees and customer service teams. As companies grow, the data they gather cannot be stored solely on the company’s servers or computers as there is a huge risk of loss involved.

Therefore, many companies are turning to the cloud to store all of their data and to add an increased measure of protection in the event of a hack or data breach.
