Written by Administrator | August 15, 2013

We are no longer restricted to saving all of our mission critical information on one, physical device, such as a floppy disk, CD, or USB flash drive. Cloud Computing has forever changed the way in which companies store and access their data. The Cloud is safe and secure, it helps boost productivity, and it is cost effective. For these reasons, countless companies from numerous industries have made the switch to the Cloud. But what about file access? Whether in the office or on the road, your employees need the ability to securely access vital technology resources and company data. The solution: Mobile Cloud Computing, which is simply the use of Cloud Computing technology on a mobile device. Real-world examples of mobile Cloud solutions include:

  • Mobile Email: Mobile email is perhaps the example of mobile Cloud Computing that most people can connect with. How many of you already use mobile email? If so, you are utilizing a Cloud technology. Mobile email allows users to view, manage, and respond to email without ever accessing an office network.
  • Apps: Several companies in the real estate business, for example, are now utilizing mobile apps that allow prospective homebuyers to locate homes for sale using satellite GPS. Every time a user initiates a new search, the computation is performed on a remote server and the mobile device displays information sent to it from the Cloud.
  • And so much more!
