MobileMe – Online Backup in the Sky
Cloud computing is here and MobileMe is here to serve the few faithful Apple fanatics who are benefiting from one of the very few yet effective examples of the new cloud computing framework where all applications and data are stored in data centers, to be called upon when needed. The advantages of secure online backup of information is very much a new thing but it does allow you to back-up some of your vital information into secure servers that should not fail. There are even some providers who offer such services for a fee like Norton’s 360 product which includes a couple of megabytes of free secure online data storage space.
The security of your data on Apple’s servers is quite good considering the fact that the company is considered to be one of the industry’s most stable players. MobileMe, that is running on your mobile device, sends the new information to the servers through the internet where it is archived ready for retrieval when you get home where it is sent to your iTunes account to the MobileMe installed in your Mac
