In times past, one could only hope that their electronic information was safe from loss by purchasing an external hard drive or backing everything up onto a floppy disc.  But now, individuals and corporations are storing their information in a cloud.  The talk of storing information in clouds is no longer crazy talk, but rather a real and beautiful reality.  Storing and sharing information this way is very popular, as evidenced by the fact that 74% of companies already use some form of a cloud.

Since cloud computing is a growing technology and here to stay, there are some things that you should check out before leaping on to the first puffy cloud you see.  A wise cloud buyer needs to make sure they understand the features, cost, and security the service offers before they commit.  This infographic from Veracode will walk a buyer through what they need to know before they invest in the technology of tomorrow.
