What does “data in the cloud” mean to you?
It’s easy to imagine data floating somewhere in the sky, vaporizing when not needed and magically reappearing when we call for it. While it’s not quite that simple, DataHEALTH aims to make the entire process feel effortless for our customers. But have you ever wondered where your data really goes when you’re using a cloud backup service or cloud-based server? Let’s peak behind the “cloud.”
At its core, the “cloud” is simply a network of computers connected via the internet. Data starts at your workstation, travels to either an in-house or cloud-based server, and is then backed up for safekeeping. Along the way, various machines, services, and connections work together to keep everything running smoothly. If it’s outside your office, it’s considered part of the “cloud.” DataHEALTH offers both cloud backup and cloud-based hosting services, ensuring your data is safely and securely stored.
Given the sensitive nature of data — such as personal, medical, and financial records — it’s critical that the cloud infrastructure is robust and secure. When choosing a cloud provider, make sure to ask the right questions. Below, we’ve outlined common questions and how DataHEALTH addresses each.
