In his remarks, Zaeem Arshad, Division Head RapidCompute, explained how RapidCompute is paving the way for organizations to discover scalability on the fly, and move from costly physical infrastructure to cost effective virtual infrastructure.
While speaking about the security aspect, he said: “There is a reason why your money is more secure in a bank than in your home. Similarly, outsourcing ones data services to a professional cloud provider can benefit them in many ways.”
For example, he said, a small business cannot afford expensive firewalls or highly-skilled IT staff to protect its data from cyber attacks. But a cloud services provider has aggressive firewalls and costly but adequate security arrangements to prevent similar attacks.
