As many of our posts suggest, the cloud is not the just the wave of the future, but also the wave of today. Manufacturers, distributors, professional service providers, retailers, you name it, are seeing that having their business management application running in the cloud is not only convenient, but also a prudent use of readily available technology. It furthermore, is allowing rapidly growing companies to utilize working capital to grow their business rather than just run their business. In the cloud, there is no need to purchase servers, or have an army of IT experts (if even an IT person at all). Just like the clouds in the big blue sky, they are constantly there, always within your view; giving you access to the right information when you need it, where you need it.
However, as we have heard countless times in our lives, every coin has two sides, we are faced with the unknowns surrounding the cloud. Where is my data stored? What type of data centers are they? How safe is it (really)? Are there backups? Are there backups to those backups? What types of encryption are used? Am I guaranteed a certain amount of uptime? And this list could go on and on.
What you need to know, is that the cloud is safe. In fact, its likely that the cloud, especially the cloud technology that SAP utilizes is safer than any private network a small business could build up, even in their best day. But, rather than just explain it, the following document will show you just how secure your data in the SAP cloud environment really is.
