The development of international trade, along with a number of the latest technological advances in communications and transport, has led to the internationalization of the supply chain, through which domestic firms externalize a number of functions in countries where such functions can be performed at a lower cost. China, or more recently in Vietnam.
But this internationalization of the value chain, often combined with a short-term policy of keeping inventories to a minimum in order to reduce costs, makes firms highly dependent on the smooth operation of the international value chain. Such smooth functioning can be disrupted when an external shock affects the economy of any of the countries where the firms involved in the value chain are located.
The Work Method of Data Room Service Providers
Many programs for computers and mobile devices use cloud servers to store any user and / or internal data. If it is, for example, a game on a smartphone, it can transmit to the cloud the progress of the passage, saving and other technical information, and then download it at startup. And the user can change the device several times, and its savings in the game will not disappear – the main thing is to connect to your account from the game application.
Here are some more examples of using data room service providers:
- Automatically save videos, audio, and photos in the cloud when capturing/recording them in the appropriate application on your phone.
- Saving videos from CCTV cameras. And this can be implemented in different ways. Sending files to the cloud can be undertaken by both programs installed on the PC and the equipment itself – cameras and/or video recorders.
- All mail programs and messengers also store user correspondence and attachments in cloud storage.
- A variety of desktop utilities (such as driver or software applications), antivirus, and a number of other programs that download and update data work with cloud storage.
In order to ensure that the database corresponds to the current state of the subject area, the database is dynamically updated (periodically or in real-time). This update is called a data update. The correctness of updates can be controlled programmatically, but it is more correct to control them automatically by means of restrictions of the integrity of a DB. A database is an information model of the outside world, a subject area.
