We are considering moving our server to the cloud. Our tech guy was using his tech words to explain to us something about needing a parallel server for our QuickBooks. I kept trying to understand why having your QuickBooks data files on a cloud server is different than having them on an onsite server. We run the QuickBooks application on our workstation desktop and access the data files that are stored on the server.
I'm a dummy, so I think all we are doing is just replacing our ethernet wires to our onsite server with internet 'tubes' to the offsite server.
Can somebody explain in non-tech words why having your QuickBooks data stored remotely makes things different?
