Many people use cloud storage for backups, or use a cloud-based file sharing service to share files with family members or friends. Some of these systems have advanced features, such as the ability to selectively sync folders between mobile devices, integrations with productivity tools and smart notifications. They also provide documents with comments activities streams, as well as documents-level comments. These features allow anyone to know what has changed or updated the folder or file in the past. Others concentrate on security by using encryption and allowing only certain IP addresses to access the system or offering secure virtual private networks (VPN).
The most important factor in modern data management is instantaneous business insight, which requires the use of a system that is able to deliver high-performance at a scale. This is hard to achieve using home-grown or consulting-based solutions that depend on multiple regions, services, and clouds, and whose architecture is often designed to provide fault tolerance rather than high uptime.
Data Sharing
A powerful data-sharing solution provides a single, consistent method to exchange live, monetized and consumed market data across the business ecosystem. It offers speed, power, governance, and security to enable a range of data-driven business applications–from historical sales forecasts and customer propensity models to live market data feeds that can help in predicting trends and identifying opportunities. This is a challenging problem to solve, but a top-of-the-line vendor can provide a rapid and scalable platform that can provide low-latency results while reducing costs and reducing data risks.
