Setting Up a Storage Cluster

If you haven’t set up a storage cluster before, it can seem a bit daunting at first. You may not know how to begin or how it works. So let us help; here’s a guide to storage clusters. Storage clusters are a type of architecture that enables you to store data with redundancy. They enable you to have maximum up time as they seamlessly provide data to applications.  Clusters are groups of servers that provide redundancy should one machine go down or become overloaded with other tasks. Clusters provide transparency, meaning that no matter what data you’re accessing, the machine beneath it

Servers vs Peer-to-Peer Networks for Small Businesses

Small businesses generally use one of two types of computer networks. These are the peer-to-peer network or the server-based network. For the very small business with up to about five computers, peer-to-peer is often used because they are inexpensive to set up. The employees using these computers typically work in close proximity and interact frequently. Connecting their computers together in this way allow them to conveniently share files and to use shared devices such as a printer. The Problems Of Peer-To-Peer However, even with as few as five computers (clients) on a peer-to-peer network, difficulties often arise. One of these

Server Hosting: Where Do You Keep Your Data?

Client information, inventory, finances, accounts receivable, sales transactions, employee records, marketing projections, and information derived from analysis are just a small sampling of the kinds of data that businesses use to keep their operations going. Data is the life blood of a business yet you wouldn’t know it by the way many of them store their data. Data doesn’t seem to get the kind of respect that money does. Businesses (and people for that matter) have no difficulty understanding the importance of keeping their money in a bank rather than stuffing it in a desk drawer or convenient closet. Yet

Server Hosting: Can a Butterfly Put You out of Business?

There is a reason why meteorologists can’t predict the weather months in advance. It’s chaotic. This means that although it is readily modeled with the help of computers, it is highly sensitive to the smallest of inputs. Tiny inputs like the flapping of a butterfly’s wings in one area, can lead to a tornado weeks later on a different continent thousands of miles away. This disproportionate cause and effect chain is called the butterfly effect. The term was coined by Edward Lorenz who was a meteorologist, mathematician, and a pioneer of chaos theory. In unstable or chaotic systems, small inputs

Security as a Service

According to Ernst & Young’s 19th Global Information Security Survey 2016-17, some 57 percent of American businesses have recently experienced a significant cybersecurity incident, with 69 percent saying the budget to address cyber threats is half of what is needed.  According to researchers, many cyber criminals have reacted to the improved defense capabilities of large enterprises, by refocusing their efforts on targeting comparatively easier prey: small and medium-sized businesses. IBM’s Ponemon Institute has reported that 62 percent of all cyber attacks are made against small and medium-sized businesses because they simply do not have the resources necessary to implement a robust
