What requirements should be evaluated to choose the best cloud storage service?

 Safety

When we talk about migration, we are entrusting our data to third parties, so it is extremely important that we check the level of security offered by the company.

It is important to have a good firewall to avoid setbacks and confirm that it is possible to change the settings according to the needs of the company. Remember that the safety factor is always next to the credibility factor, so choose providers with know-how.

It is very important to understand that security in relation to the imputation, modification and deletion of data is the responsibility of the contractor, not the provider. So, in addition to choosing a secure cloud, maintain good internal access control.

Cryptography

Look for a provider that offers customers the ability to create and manage their own encryption keys. This guarantees autonomy and independence of access even in relation to the provider, who will not be able to decrypt the files.

In addition to personal key encryption, it is interesting that the contractor encrypts the data during transfer and storage to the provider's system. The combination of these two solutions will guarantee enhanced data security.

Availability

Imagine your company losing a business because of an unstable provider that went down at the time you needed it most. That can be expensive, isn't it?

In fact, information technology specialists can work in various areas of information technology. They work in the help desk to redress the problems that end users face. 

The cloud must meet the business availability criteria, as we are in an age when people are connected, working from anywhere and from any device. It is necessary that the provider allows the user to send and retrieve data whenever he needs, as if he were working with a physical drive.
