Cloud Services To Bet On

Office Apps on the Cloud

Many partners who took the CRN Cloud Adoption Survey feel that the easiest public cloud computing service to offer through channels is migrating on-premise office applications to the cloud. Google, Zoho and Microsoft have more than 2,000 partners in the country selling their office applications on the cloud. Commission range from 12-19 percent annually on new subscriptions and 6-10 percent for existing customers. Ever since Microsoft announced the Office 365 Open program, the business model of billing through a distributor, flexible pricing and payment terms for customers, things have become easier for partners. Services opportunities: Migration per user from on-premise is expected to fetch a one-time fee of Rs 500-1,000.

UC on the cloud

A growing opportunity is emerging with UC off the cloud, and apart from the big players, many niche players have emerged. While Microsoft offers Lync as an added feature with Office 365, competition is coming from Cisco, Digium and Avaya which have announced hosted UC offerings. Other players such as Super Receptionist, Knowlarity, Twilio and Plivo allow SIs to offer telephony solutions off the net. Services opportunities: There are huge opportunities for SIs to replace traditional PBX with public telephony solutions. Cisco estimates services revenue to be almost equal to the first year’s annual hosting costs.

Storage/Backup/DR

While primary storage is still not considered suitable for movement to a public cloud because of latency issues, content which is often served over the net is fast moving to a public cloud. Amazon’s public storage service S3 is being used by Web application owners to host static content. Akamai and Amazon CloudFront have emerged for providing caching content. Meanwhile, secondary storage, backup and archival are emerging as the hottest opportunities with almost two dozen vendors emerging. Many channel partners have also set up their own white-labeled public cloud practices. For instance, Sanovi Technologies has started offering solutions of public clouds, while Dropbox recently announced a corporate plan. For archival, Amazon has announced Glaciers, which offers 1 TB of archival for as low as $10. Services opportunities: Apart from migration, channels can play a services role in consulting, integration and maintenance.

Know more about Cloud Drive

Know more about Cloud Drive

Where Should You Save Your Data?

It seems every internet giant is pushing its cloud storage now. Most have a certain amount of free cloud storage. Hosting companies are offering to host in the cloud. Google has introduced notebook ‘computers’ that use the cloud for everything.

Why not use a hard drive?

Do not let the tag of Cloud fool you – all of your information is still on a hard drive. It would be more appropriately called “our hard drive instead of yours”. The term cloud simply means you can easily access it from any internet connection. It may be stored on redundant servers but in the end it is all just on a hard drive somewhere- one substantially bigger than your own.

There are some advantages to storing files on a Cloud drive.

1. Automatic back-ups of important files

2. Easy access to files from any computer

3. Access with mobile devices and sharing between devices

4. Protects against hard drive failure on your computer

5. Protects against stolen laptop or lost/stolen smart phones

These being the reasons why every company is telling you to use their cloud drive and they are good ones. Most make it very easy. Google gives you 6GB of cloud drive with a Gmail account. Windows sets up your ‘SkyDrive’ with your Microsoft account and the Office 2013 tries to save to it by default. Hundreds of companies changed their service name from ‘online data storage and back-up’ to ‘Cloud storage service’. The question you should ask is why are the big companies offering you this free storage?

The first is simple economics. Google offers 6 GB of free storage. My computer has a 1TB hard drive. If I want to actually back up my whole drive I will need to buy a lot more space. The presumption is I will get used to using it and the easy back-up and simply upgrade to a paid plan. This does not change any of the potential benefits so there is nothing wrong with the premise.

The issue to be considered is the alternative other use hidden in the EULA (End User License Agreement). If anybody actually read these you would see that almost universally the big internet companies reserve the right to use information collected from data you send to the cloud as they see fit. Exact wording varies but you can be sure they are not saying they will not look at or read the data you store there.

They use the same processes to comb all the data people store on their ‘cloud’ to add profile information and use that for targeting advertisements and marketing. By using Big Data processing and analytics they change what you find in searches and what advertisements you see. The information is also used to present special offers to certain people and not to others based on buying habits and collected profile data.

Cloud storage offers many conveniences. Just do not make the mistake of assuming it is a ‘free benefit’.

How to Backup your Gmail Account

How to Backup your Gmail Account

This past weekend over 150,000 Internet users woke up to find their Gmail inboxes, contacts and chat conversations gone. The issue, according to Google, was caused by a storage software update that introduced an unexpected bug. But while the company has since begun restoring data from tape backups and will likely offer some form of compensation where applicable, the incident served as a reminder that no matter how reliable some cloud-based services are, they are certainly not infallible, and thus it might be prudent to have your own backup ready just in case things go amiss.

There are numerous ways to backup your Gmail data and deciding which way to go will largely depend on the level of effort you want to put into it. You could simply setup Gmail to forward all your mails to another email account and call it a day, for instance. But there are also a handful of other options that offer a bit more flexibility and convenience.

Below, we've listed a few of them, so you can choose whichever best suits your needs.

Use a standalone backup program

Gmail Backup is a simple and easy-to-setup free alternative that does exactly what its name says. Upon installation, just type in your credentials and it will begin downloading all your e-mails, backing them up securely, and allowing you to restore them to your account should the unthinkable happen. The program is free and Windows-only. Their website seems to be down due to the increased load in the past few days, but you candownload Gmail Backup here from our local mirror.



If you're willing to shell out $20, Gmail Keeper will back up Gmail messages or messages from a Google Apps Mail account as a .zip file to a local disk. It supports multiple accounts and even stores labels associated with each message, while those concerned about privacy can encrypt their mail and password protect it.

Third-party Web service

Backupify is a handy tool that automatically performs scheduled backups for a number of popular online services including Google Apps, Facebook, Twitter and others. You won't have to put too much effort into the whole backup process -- just supply the login credentials of the sites you want backed up and Backupify takes care of the rest. Be aware though that you're essentially moving your info from one cloud to another.



The site offers both free and paid accounts with varying limitations, but given the recent Gmail blunder, Backupify is taking the opportunity to entice new users with a coupon code "savegmail" for a year of free backups with one of their premium plans, so there's really no reason for not giving it a shot.

Use a desktop mail client

This is probably the most common approach and should take just a few minutes to set up. Gmail offers access to all your mail through desktop clients such as Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and many others. The latter is free and available on all major operating systems, so if you're doing this for the first time and especially if you're only planning to use it for backups rather than as your primary client, then Thunderbird might be the way to go.



For those unfamiliar with the setup process: After signing into Gmail, click the "gear" in the upper-right corner, choose Mail settings, then load the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab. Enable POP for all mail and set Gmail to keep its copy.

You'll then need to setup your desktop mail client to retrieve your emails. Google offers step-by-step instructionsfor a number of clients and Thunderbird's automatic configuration is usually spot on getting your settings right with just your username and password -- but make sure to use POP instead of IMAP for one-way message transfers.

Messages will be downloaded automatically each time you launch Thunderbird and stored into your profile folder -- which you can back up standalone as well for some added security. It's pretty straightforward, but for those who prefer to use the web-based Gmail interface, remembering to run Thunderbird or whatever desktop email client every once in a while might be more work than they're willing to deal with.
