Concerns about Google's Free Data Storage for Organizations
You know I kinda find it strange that the tech giant Google is offering data storage up to 100 petabytes or PBs to businesses to store their data and sensitive information there. Think about it for a second everyone nothing in this world is for free there is always goes wrong with dealing with sensitive information in the business world. I have a sneaky suspicion that Google is trying to compete with the Walmart of the internet Amazon's data storage system called Amazon Cloud Drive. If I was a owner of a large or small business I would be very careful of Google's data storage because there is always a hidden charge sometime in the mix. Plus how do we know that it is not prone to an hacker attack from the outside world who can find and exploit Google's Cloud Storage Near line's vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the system. Did Google and its Information Technology Department made the necessary security defensive and patches to protect the system from a cyber attack and a potential data breach from rogue employees on the inside and the black hatted hackers from the outside these things must be be top priority before any roll out of the data storage is released to the public.
Call me whatever you want, but I want to make sure this cloud system by Google is really live up to the hype. Of course sure it does have 99 percent up time as far as loading data in the system, but is this just another beta version a prototype for the real version make up by just software programmers and developers in Google's main office in Silicon Valley? Here is the thing if you looked the cloud system more closely it is free for only 6 months nothing more and nothing less. It is something that Organizations must think about really careful when putting their business information onto any cloud service from these cloud computing companies because it the end of the day nothing is secure cloud systems can be hacked and data breaches will expose a lot of sensitive information. I dont know you guys it is my viewpoint on things please tell me what you think about Google's Data Cloud System. Here are some articles to expand your mind on this issue.
