    How Your Business Can Benefit From Cloud Storage

    Cloud storage has gotten a lot of press in recent times. So, what is it and how can it benefit your company?

Placing this data in the Cloud means it is available in one place to all machines with access. This of course, makes for a range of benefits and allows you to adapt and improve your business’s storage solutions without making any sacrifices or having any security concerns.

    Cloud storage can be used for a variety of purposes, including as a backup disk, working disk, for extra storage, as a shared disk or for web and email use.

    5 Mac Protection Solutions

    We all love Mac and their operating system. It’s rather good and reliable – at least, during a few years of usage, refreshing and other operations it didn’t bring to me any troubles. But there is a solid minus in it – a lot of software must be bought, there are no in-built tools for elementary things like HDD defragmentation, antivirus protection, log cleaning and other things that are necessary in everyday life of a common Mac user.

    I think we all know that stupid belief that “antivirus protection is not really necessary on Mac computers.” A lot of people used to say so, until one sunny day they discovered that their money from credit cards has gone somewhere. Only after that they understood what an antivirus program is for and decided to buy an antivirus application.

    Google Fiber: Out of This World

    It wasn’t long ago that you had to actually dial a telephone, get up from the sofa to change the channel on your black and white TV, and the closest thing you had to a computer was a calculator. Then a man walked on the moon, and we all asked, “What next?”

    I don’t think any of us were prepared for the techie-wars of the past decade. As soon as a new device, chip, or app is finished and introduced to the public, a new one is rolled out the very next week, making the prior one obsolete. In other words, it seems impossible to stay completely current in the technological market of today.
