What is the Cloud and How Are Attorneys Really Using It?

Posted by Charles Koo

December 5, 2016 3:27 PM

  • Tweet

According to the American Bar Association 2016 Legal Technology Survey Report, only 38 percent of lawyers are using cloud computing for tasks relating to their practice. Overall, 53 percent report that they do not use cloud computing at all while about 10 percent say they don’t know if they do or not.

 

In reality, these attorneys may not be aware that they’re probably already using the cloud but just don’t know it.

 

So what is the cloud, and why should you care?

Moving Your Law Firm to the Cloud: A Step-by-Step Guide

Posted by William Pate

June 7, 2016 2:32 PM

  • Tweet

The cloud has been proven to be as secure as hosting technology within the walls of a law firm, and provides many additional benefits that can't be achieved with enterprise-wide systems. Hosting infrastructure in the cloud means firms can scale up or down when more or less space is needed, allocate fewer precious budgetary dollars for hardware and steer away from the peak and valley spending that comes with investing in enterprise solutions.

 

The cloud is now a viable option for most small to midsized law firms, but how do you get there?

Law Firm Data: Safer in the Cloud

Posted by William Pate

April 12, 2016 10:31 AM

When faced with hurricanes, earthquakes, geomagnetic storms and floods, law firms' data is safer in the cloud than anywhere else. Traditional data centers are built strong to protect against natural disasters, but when it comes time for your data to evacuate, it needs to have somewhere to go. The cloud offers that protection with multiple levels of redundancy across the world, so your data will survive even if one location is hit or damaged. Here are four scenarios the cloud protects your law firm from:

My company has been helping law firms design, implement and support innovative legal technologies for over 25 years. I have seen a lot of change in that time – some of it for the better and some . . . well, not so helpful. Below are five developments I noticed this year. Not listed is the sixth and most important change: the increasing interest in learning and sharing knowledge in our community.

So Your SAN is Full . . .

Posted by Derk Shelly

December 8, 2015 1:40 PM

  • Tweet

Storage choices are expanding almost as fast as is our ability to fill them up. Due to the mission-critical nature of what law firms store, they require reliability, fault tolerance and scalability. However, the price tag to add a few more terabytes of storage to a system can be daunting to some.  

 

Adding additional SAN nodes is the first and, for me, most obvious answer. 

 

Installing new SAN nodes can be added to a storage cluster with no downtime, giving law firms a seamless expansion in storage capacity. This was, after all, one of the reasons you bought SAN storage in the first place, right?

 

There are other options, though.

Planning Like It's 1999

As the end of the year rapidly approaches, we think back to the much-touted but over-hyped threat of the millennial bug destroying massive amounts of data and information. While we laugh at our overreaction 15 years ago, when it comes to information security, there is no true overreaction. Cyberattacks, earthquakes, fires, explosions, power outages and so many more events can immediately render your data unavailable — sometimes for good.

To mitigate that risk, we partner with Acronis to provide backup, disaster recovery and secure access solutions to our legal technology clients.
