TECHNICAL OPINION: ·
The Cloud o We recommend using the
Cloud as a secondary backup to having an on-site backup. Word Processing, spreadsheets, photos and
music can be stored in the cloud, but what about your favorites, (bookmarks),
wireless settings, background configuration files for accounting and other
software programs? There are many files that you may not think
of or be aware of that need to be backed up.
Having an on-site backup or image of your computers (and servers) ensures
everything gets backed up. The cloud doesn’t do that. The cloud service may have tiered rates
which may incur additional costs for needing more storage space. If the data being backed up to the Cloud is
sensitive, ensure that it is secure.
What happens to the files if your cloud provider goes out of business or
sells out to another provider? Also
check to ensure the servers where your files are stored is in the United
States. In addition, it’s important to
know that although you may have high speed internet, the transfer of files along
with file version checking to the cloud can cause significant speed
degradation on your network. This
means that internet performance may be significantly reduced when cloud
backup / restoration services are in progress. ·
Tablets: Do I get an
Android or an iPad? o One of the questions
we get is that people want a tablet or iPad in place of their notebooks. Neither are notebook replacements. In short, not all websites will view the
same way as on a notebook or desktop.
These tablets typically use a mobile version of a website. Streaming vworks, but there may be more
buffering than you’re used to on a personal computer. Software functionality such as word
processing may function quite differently on a tablet/iPad than a personal
computer. For example, Word
processing, if you are an attorney and using footnotes, they may strip out of
document which was created with a full scale wordprocessor when opened on a
tablet/iPad. Discuss your needs with a professional to determine the best device
and apps for your needs. |
