Centralized Data Storage is the Better Option. What’s Your Excuse?

Centralized Data Storage is the Better Option. What’s Your Excuse?

Are you sure that your business can control all of its data? Are you absolutely certain that it can be accessed when needed? Can you guarantee that it’s as secure as humanly possible, wherever it happens to be? You should be able to answer these questions with an unequivocal and resounding “yes,” yet central data management is far from a simple task.

Let’s go over why you should implement centralized data storage and why it’s critical to the success of your business.

What is Centralized Data Storage?

Centralized data storage is when you store all of your organization’s data in one location where all devices can access it, provided they are approved and have clearance to do so. This means storing it on a central, shared device, like a server or in the cloud. There are several reasons to do this, but here are some of the better ones.

Controlling Your Data is Easier

You might not be able to control all devices used by your employees, but you have a lot of control over the data and how it’s accessed. If you use a centralized data storage space, you can ensure that your team can remotely access it using approved devices, all while keeping track of who does so and from where.

Securing and Backing Your Data Up is More Reliable

Similarly, you can better keep your data protected by storing it in a centralized location rather than spread out across your network. This means that you can better target your security efforts. Plus, data backup is a cinch when all of the data is in one place.

Access Control is More Manageable

Finally, keeping your data in one safe place means that each of your employees can access the data based on their individual needs as per their job duties and requirements. You should restrict access to data by default, only opening it up to employees when their duties demand it.

Your Business Should Use Centralized Storage

Really, there is no excuse to not use centralized data storage, as it makes so many other tasks for your business infinitely easier. To learn more about how you can implement technology to make centralized data storage a reality for your company, reach out to us at (603) 499-4400.
