Security in the Cloud - is your data safe?


Cloud Computing - who has access to your data?

What is "Cloud Computing"? Basically, cloud computing is the idea of hosting both software and data on the internet. This simplifies data sharing for offices and makes it convenient for sales people to correspond with their parent companies by having "real-time" access to information. It is also cost effective because instead of maintaining your own IT staff, you can get online collaboration tools for around $22 - 50/month and let the professionals hosting your service deal with the headaches of maintaining the servers. What is the downside? SECURITY.

How can you be sure that your data is secure when you are using the cloud for software and data storage? Consider this...your company starts off small with a dedicated server hosted in the cloud. As your company grows, your bandwidth and server needs will also grow. When you decide to upgrade your server to another server, how can you be sure that the sensitive data on the older hard drives are properly destroyed? A growing trend in data security is hard drive destruction services, but is your hosting provider offering this as a security option?

A hard drive shredder will physically destroy the hard drive into scrap metal and will be impossible to retrieve any data from. Make sure that you are asking your hosting provider about the security options that are available to you.

Alan Ross Machinery has a complete inventory of hard drive shredders that can provide the security you deserve.

Plant Liquidation? Auction vs. Orderly Liquidation


So you have surplus equipment for sale and a lot of it? Maybe the equipment is spread across multiple sites? Money owed to the bank? Selling your used equipment can be a daunting task and that is why Alan Ross Machinery is the leader in organizing Plant Liquidations that get results. We currently are liquidating a Complete Electronic Waste Processing Plant and have successfully organized many others before this.

If you are considering a plant liquidation, here are some things to consider:

1. An auction will end quickly but can draw a crowd
2. Is your equipment easily transported to buyers?
3. Is your equipment still owned by the bank?
4. An orderly liquidation gives you more time to negotiate price compared to auctions
5. Is your equipment spread across multiple sites?
6. Do you have a trusted logistics contractor that is insured?
7. How easily can your equipment be removed from its facilities?

Whatever your needs are, Alan Ross Machinery will take the time to customize your solution. Maybe you want to sell your equipment individually over time or get it all over with in one day at your site with an auctioneer? Call us for a Free consultation about your liquidation needs: (847) 480-8900
