Nearly three-quarters (71 percent) of small businesses surveyed by Newtek Business Services said they have never heard of cloud computing, underlining a fundamental lack of knowledge about the technology.
Based on a poll of approximately 1,800 respondents, the survey found only 26 percent of those who had heard of cloud computing could describe what it was. And 71 percent of respondents acknowledged they do not keep their critical business files and data backed up offsite—only 29 percent of respondents said they did.
