Backup Brought to Home by yourcloudstorage.com

Whether a person is for or against the cloud there is no doubt that it’s here to stay. But what is cloud storage, what are the benefits and what makes yourcloudstorage.com different to the other providers?

Also, until the end of February, yourcloudstorage.com are offering a 10% discount for life on all new backup accounts, entering the promotional code pwr10backup during the registration.

In its simplest form, cloud storage is the configuration of networked online storage arrays where data can be stored in a secure virtualised environment. This data is managed, maintained and backed up remotely and then made available to users via a network – most notably the internet.

The benefits of cloud storage are depending on the scenario for using it. However, for most people, it’s the accessibility and safety it gives to users. A file can be created and stored on one side of the world and with the click of button it can be made available to a person on the other side of the world. Data is replicated across multiple sites and datacentres to ensure it’s always available and secure as well as backed up to ensure its safety.

There are many providers offering their cloud storage services but, unlike many of its competitors, yourcloudstorage.com does not offer its cloud storage solutions by the gigabyte but rather by the terabyte and for their cloud backup solution it’s even unlimited – at £4.75 per month.

In addition to this, it provides free mobile apps for the iPhone, iPad and Android so that customers can access their backed-up and cloud files on the move as well as stream music and films from the cloud onto the their mobile device.

yourcloudstorage.com boasts AES-256 encryption as standard on its services as well as customer files being cross site replicated over three datacentres – all in the UK. As an added safety feature, yourcloudstorage.com gives customers the option to upload and download files using SSL encryption.
