LONDON, March 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to The Business Research Companys research report on the photographic services market, cloud storage is gaining popularity in the photography services market. The photographer can capture pictures using a camera or smartphone, and they can store the images they have taken, which can be shared with clients easily through cloud storage, so there is no need to worry about space issues and memory cards. Cloud storage is also gaining popularity as photography service providers can download images anywhere without any security concerns. They can be edited easily without connecting their device to the computer. Photographs can be uploaded via any wired or wireless deviceand later downloaded for editing. Editors can send all the images to clients before editing to enable a selection of photos to be edited via cloud storage.

For instance, in September 2021, a safer system for cloud storage, known as Easy Secure Photos (ESP), was created by Columbia University academics. Images can be encrypted using ESP while allowing authorized users to access their material in a seamless manner.

Companies In The Photographic Services Market Adopt Cloud Storage Technology Read On For How It Affects Market Growth As Per The Business Research...

When you think about Amazon, you probably assume the company primarily focuses on its online storefront and various smart home products. But there's a lot more that goes into the Amazon ecosystem, and that includes making sure that your files are backed up. The company actually has two different apps on the Play Store that you can use to keep all of your important files from being lost.

If you have an Amazon account, then you already have an Amazon Drive account, even if you didn't know it. By default, Amazon provides up to 5GB of free storage that you can use in conjunction with Amazon Drive and Photos. However, there are also additional options if you need more than the included storage, making this quite an impressive alternative to some of the best cloud storage solutions. If you're interested in test-driving this, here's how you can use Amazon Drive to backup your photos and files.

1. Open the Amazon Drive app on your phone.

2. Log into the app with your Amazon account information.

3. Tap the three vertical dots in the top right corner.

4. Tap Upload.

5. Select one of the following: Take a photo, Take a video, Files, or Add Photos and Videos.

6. When prompted, tap Allow to give Amazon Drive access to your files.

7. Select the files that you want to upload.

8. Tap the Upload button in the bottom right corner.

We recommend leaving the Amazon Drive app open while you're uploading files. Sometimes, Android can "kill" apps that are running in the background and you definitely wouldn't want that to happen in the middle of an upload.

Amazon Drive isn't the only cloud storage solution that Amazon has to offer, as there's an Amazon Photos app too. This is slightly different from the Drive app, as you won't be able to upload documents. But the added benefit is that you can sync the Amazon Photos app with your Fire TV or Echo and see a gallery of your pictures as opposed to the stock images Amazon provides.

1. Open the Amazon Photos app on your phone.

2. Log into the app with your Amazon account information.

3. Tap the OK button to get started.

4. When prompted, tap the Allow button to provide the app with access to your photos and videos.

5. In the bottom toolbar, tap the More button.

6. Tap Settings.

7. Select Auto-Save near the top of the page.

8. Tap the toggles next to Photos and Videos.

From this settings panel, you can also adjust different "when to back up" settings. These include things like only backing up when you're connected to a charger, and toggling whether you want to use cellular data to back items up instead of only relying on a Wi-Fi connection.

No matter what cloud storage solution you end up using, whether it's Amazon Drive or something else, we strongly recommend backing up your devices whenever possible. By doing so, you'll never have to worry about losing those precious pictures and videos of moments that you just won't get back.

There's also the added benefit of being able to access those backed up files from pretty much anywhere. This includes accessing and organizing your photos, videos, and other files from the web, or when you ultimately get a new phone.

If you have an Amazon account, then you already have access to Amazon Drive. This is an alternative cloud storage solution that syncs with your Amazon account and is accessible from pretty much anywhere.

A March update for HYCUs Protg backup offering adds support for Dell EMC Isilon and PowerScale systems, plus additional features such as Azure Government Cloud support.

Update. Additional HYCU views added. 5 April 2022.

HYCU presented its update to a March IT Press Tour in Tel Aviv, reminding attendees it began its life providing Nutanix-focussed backup, then added VMware, and subsequently added the Google, Azure and AWS public clouds in that order, with an agentless backup-as-a-service offering. Office 365 was supported in February last year, and Kubernetes-orchestrated cloud-native workloads in April.

Subbiah Sundaram, VP of product for HYCU, told attendees: We integrate with Isilons native API, not using NDMP, whose use impacts production systems. Ours does not.

Thats because NDMP uses host server CPU and memory resources whereas HYCUs agentless backup does not. HYCUs Protg software can backup Isilon and PowerScale systems to on-premises Data Domain and ECS targets but also to the three top public clouds. In this way it can aid a customers migration to the cloud.

When it was mentioned that Druva can also backup source systems to the public cloud, and Dell has a tie-up with Druva, HYCU SBP sales Justin Endres said that Druva was AWS-specific and customers would prefer multi-cloud support. He also suggested that Dell-Druva deal was done in haste and Dell might be looking to widen its SaaS backup supplier relationship so as to gain multi-cloud target support.

Endres also said that Isilon/PowerScale customers moved to HYCU because relying on replica copy-based rather than backup-based protection didnt scale well or extend easily to the public cloud. HYCU fulfils both requirements. Also Isilon customers came to HYCU because extending their legacy backup to the cloud was hard and HYCU made it easier. Commvault and Veritas were singled out in this regard, with Sundaram saying Commvaults Metallic does not protect Isilon.

Other features in the March update were:

Asked if HYCU offered dedupe in the cloud, Sundaram said: We dont do dedupe in the cloud. It requires compute there and compute is expensive while storage and networking are cheaper. We only ship unique blocks to the cloud with a first fill backup and only unique blocks from incremental changes. This is marketed as Cloud Smart with savings in backup storage capacity and faster recovery than restoration from a deduplicated backup store in the cloud. In effect HYCU gets dedupe done on the source system.

In the future HYCU could introduce data protection plus security with integration of its software with the native security management of the source platform so it could work with the identity management features there.

HYCU has an R-Score ransomware attack readiness score with a 0 to 1,000 rating and offers it as a free service to customers. It was created with help from Mandiant and, so far, it has been used more than 50,000 times.

Its enabling its partners to offer this as a service with partners billing customers for its use. HYCU says this gives its partners something to compete against Google with its acquired Mandiant offering.

A HYCU spokesperson told us: These new services for us are just a small but hopefully meaningful way in which our partners can add ransomware assessment to their ongoing practice areas especially for those in that have security service and practice areas. I honestly dont think any of us would ever think those capabilities for midsize enterprise-focused MSPs/MSSPs and CSPs would ever run up against the breadth and depth of what Mandiant currently offers and may offer now that theyre a part of Google. We still work with the Mandiant execs and engineers to fine tune R-Score that we introduced with them last August as well.

I can understand why you may be hesitant to dive into Cloudflare (NYSE:NET) today. Although its been moving higher in recent weeks, in line with other large-cap tech names, it may appear that outside factors could delay a NET stock recovery.

Source: IgorGolovniov / Shutterstock.com

Market volatility has caused this to happen twice so far this year. But, while things may stay frustrating in the near-term, thats not to say you should write off its potential as a great long-term opportunity.

The fast-growing web infrastructure companys two main offerings continue to benefit from high demand. We may even see greater demand for its cybersecurity solutions, in light of the recent geopolitical chaos. Demand for its content delivery network (CDN) services isnt going away anytime soon.

Thats not all. Dont forget the company has plans to both expand its cyber offerings and make a move into another major area of the cloud services space. In short, it has in place exactly what it needs to make a recovery and to hit new highs in the years ahead.

Again, the tech stock recovery has been a big reason behind Cloudflares surge since the middle of last month. Along with this, shares have received a boost from the fallout of Russias invasion of Ukraine. Fears are on the rise that Russia will retaliate against the Wests economic sanctions via cyber attacks. In turn, investors have jumped back into this and similar plays, ahead of a possible boost in demand for cybersecurity services.

Whether these factors will continue to lift up NET stock remains to be seen. You can argue the Russia-related boost has worn off. The tech sectors rebound may be fading as well. After weeks of fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) cooling down, it could be on the verge of surging again. This is mainly due to heightening concerns about a recession in the U.S.

In short, market conditions could revert back to being out of its favor. That was the main driver of its severe drop from late fall through late winter. Even so, you shouldnt base your decision to buy on the stock markets near-term direction. Instead, what should be in focus is Cloudflares underlying business performance. This, not external factors largely unrelated to its business, will be what determines its stock price performance over a long timeframe.

In terms of performance, Cloudflare continues to fire on all cylinders. Theres a strong chance it will continue to do so. Especially after its recent bulking up of its cyber offerings. Not to mention, the ramp-up of its newest cloud solutions offering.

As seen in its most recent quarterly results, Cloudflare is still in high-growth mode. For the December quarter (Q4, 2021), revenue was up 54% from the prior years quarter. Not only that, the company is also making headway when it comes to signing on large enterprises as customers. Growth among large enterprise customers (71%) exceeded overall growth.

Unfortunately, the markets souring on tech outweighed these strong results. In fact, one analyst found a way to turn its large enterprise sales growth numbers into a negative for NET stock. We may see this underappreciation play out again when it next reports in May.

It all depends whether bullishness for tech continues to renew, or if a cycling out of the sector resumes. Yet as long as it continues to deliver strong operating results, the long-term bull case for shares still stands. News from recent months helps to bolster the argument that this winning company will stay a winner in the years ahead.

Like I mentioned early last month, a pair of recent acquisitions will help strengthen the appeal of its zero-trust security platform. Its move into cloud storage, part of its plans to become the fourth public cloud, is one with substantial potential. The cloud storage industry is set to be more than $350 billion per year market by 2028.

If the markets warming back up to tech cools off again, Cloudflare could again pull back once more. This may be leaving you thinking twice about buying in today. You may be thinking of waiting for further weakness before buying.

But I wouldnt get too hung up on getting in at the absolute bottom. Instead, you should be focused more on locking down a position, while its recovery is still taking shape. Chock full of the key ingredient (a long growth runway) needed to make a full comeback, NET stock remains a great opportunity.

LAKELAND Lakeland Police Department announcedbodycameras could be rolled out to officersby thisfall.

Assistant Chief Hans Lehman told city commissioners the agency hopes to receive a shipment of 250cameras and 250 Tasers to replace theiroutdated models by June. If so, Lehman saidrollout to officers would be inOctober or November - months ahead of the prior schedule. His previous estimate was December at the earliest.

"That's incredibly commendable," Mayor Bill Mutz said, who advocated strongly for equipping officers with cameras.

Previously: City of Lakeland to spend $9.3 million on body cameras, other technology

Also: Lakeland's budget discussion mired by body camera debate

The department has started drafting a policy that governs how officers are to use body cameras and governing best practices. Lehman said the hope is to have a first version drafted by late April or May, with the regulations submitted to the commission for approval over the summer.

The department's timeline should allow for the rulesto be in placeabout whenthe equipment is expected to arrivefrom Arizona-based provider Axon Enterprises, Inc.

"Everybody's got delays with supply and demand," Lehman said.

Axon representatives are scheduled tocome to Lakeland for a week in June to provide hands-on training for the department's 250 officers.

The agency anticipates it will need roughlythree monthsfrom July to Septemberto ensure all members are fully trained, according to Lehman. This time will be used to test runthe new equipment and to make sure it cancommunicate and be integrated withtheir new Computer Aided Dispatch system, or CAD/RMS, software that launched March 22.

Officers have started going tocommunityeventsto speak about the department'slatest technological upgrades.

Did you know: A taser's life expectancy is only 5 years. Lakeland police are using 7-year-old devices

"It's not just body cameras,"Lehman said,"it's an entire digital evidence management system."

In addition to four virtual reality training sets, the police department has ordered upgradedcameras for its interview room under the 10-year, $9.3-million package with Axon. It will transition from its on-premise server and DVD storage of evidence to an unlimited cloud storage system. Lehman said these measures should allow for easier sharing of evidence betweenthe police department, the Polk County Sheriff's Office and the state attorney's office.

Officers have startedattending various community meetings across Lakeland to share details on the department's latest technology updates and answer questions, particularly about cameras.

Lehman said there's a Citizen for Community program offered by Axon that will allow residents to submit home security camera footage, cell phone videos and other digital evidence directly to the police.

A secondary mobile app will allow Lakeland police officers to take photos of crime scenes with their department-issued cell phone and upload themsystem so they become part of case files.

By the numbers: A look at what body cameras cost Florida law enforcement agencies

"We really are creating more efficiencies for us," Lehman said.

By the fall, the department should receive 165 in-car video dash cameras ordered with license plate reader technology -enough to provide for marked cars in the city's fleet.

It will take time to get up and running, Lehman said, adding about two to three cars a day will be taken out of rotation, have the old system taken out out and new cameras installed.

The new system should be fully live by the end of the year.
