Many people use cloud storage for backups or use a service such as cloud file sharing to share files with family and friends. Some of these systems have advanced features such as selective sync of folders on mobile devices and integrations with productivity software and smart notifications. They also provide comments on the document level, activity streams, and document level comments. These features allow anyone to discern what has changed or updated a file/folder over time. Some systems focus on security by using encryption, allowing access to only a few IP addresses, or even providing the virtual private network.
The most important factor in modern data management is real-time business insights, which requires the use of a system that is able to deliver high performance and scale. This isn’t possible with solutions that are developed at home or by consulting that rely on several regions, services, and clouds, and whose design is typically designed for fault tolerance instead of high uptime.
Data Sharing
A reliable data-sharing tool provides a single, consistent way to exchange, monetize and consume live market datasets across the entire business ecosystem. It provides speed, power and security for a variety data-driven applications including historical sales forecasts to customer propensity models, to real-time data feeds to detect trends and new opportunities. This is a difficult problem to solve, but a best-of-breed vendor can provide a fast and scalable platform that can provide low-latency data while reducing costs and minimizing data risk.
