There’s a lot of talk about clouds these days, but what does it really mean to store something in the cloud or to have cloud-based software? Read on to discover what it’s all about.

Cloud-based software simply refers to any software program or application that’s stored, managed, and available through the cloud. To access such services or software programs, users must have an internet connection. It is generally stored on shared computing resources, such as cloud servers. They offer distributed processing power, storage, and memory, over the Internet. Instead of data being stored in a single physical location, it is stored and maintained across several remote data centres using a cloud computing framework.

Cloud-based software uses data centres with massive computer servers that physically store the data and make it available online to users via the web. The cloud storage uses a chain of servers that includes both master control server and other storage servers. The servers are all linked with one another and it can be utilised depending upon your use and requirements, and billed accordingly. Cloud storage saves you a lot of money otherwise you would have to spend on more strong servers as your business needs increases. But in cloud storage, you only pay for the space occupied by your data in the cloud.

Users can access the software’s functionality from anywhere by simply logging in through a browser, allowing them to remotely upload their content, store and retrieve the data as and when required. Thanks to the cloud, you no longer need to purchase servers, external hard drives and memory sticks to carry your data from one place to another.

Cloud-based software is of particular importance to small and medium-sized businesses, as it allows them to access a full range of functionality from advanced applications, such as asset tracking software, without having to make a substantial upfront payment.

One of the best features of cloud storage solutions is you can upload or download your data from anywhere across the world. You just need internet access and any mobile device and the application of your service provider. Then, simply login to your account and view all your data in one place from wherever you are.

At busy times, the last thing a business needs is for technology to fail them. Downtime can lead to all kinds of problems, including reduced productivity, lost revenue and reputational issues. A reputable cloud provider will maintain reliable, secure services, giving you peace of mind that all data is secure, safe and recoverable, no matter what happens. It’s easily accessible from anywhere and any device. And if something does go wrong, a cloud host should resolve issues quickly, getting you back up and running in no time.

All of these benefits can lead to fewer stresses at peak times – and, more importantly, will also give business a lift. Your company will be more agile as capacity can be flexed up or down to meet demand, and you can take advantage of peaks in the market without significant costs. With streamlined processes and more engaged, productive employees able to connect and collaborate from around the world, you’ll gain a real competitive advantage putting you ahead of your competitors.

itemit’s range of software is all cloud-based meaning you can take advantage of all its capabilities. Developing, operating, and maintaining  a varied inventory of assets is no mean feat but with our software you can do so in a cost-effective manner, enabling you and your team to focus on blue-sky thinking.
