If you’ve wondered where the best place is to store a large amount of files for your business, some people might think that using a server is the best, most secure option. While many businesses insist on using servers, they have more than their fair share of drawbacks. These include being expensive to own, being expensive to run and limited accessibility. However, one increasing concern about having a server is the amount of energy they use.
Servers need to be run constantly, which means that they’re using electricity all the time, much like a refrigerator. As well as having to pay out thousands to use the server, your business may face astronomical energy bills in order to keep it running. Luckily, there is a cheaper, greener alternative to running a server in the form of online file storage. By using cloud storage providers like Egnyte, you stand to make your company more eco-friendly for a few reasons.
The main reason why this is the case is that the cloud technology behind online file storage means that any files which are sent to the cloud are only accessible to those with access to it. This means that people can put files in and amend them as they like, which means that they don’t have to use different servers to perform such tasks.
Secondly, the fact that they’re able to store the files online means that they’re saving plenty of money which would otherwise go towards keeping a server going. Using less energy without it affecting the way in which your business operates is surely a good thing for all concerned, while being able to use the cloud could also cut down on paper usage.
Finally, the cloud can be accessed from almost any device with an internet connection, and can be done so at home or by using a laptop. This will ultimately help to save money on travel and fuel usage, and could even help to further reduce your company’s energy bills if some of your employees are working from home with help from the cloud.
