There are hundreds of applications running on your phone with built-in backup settings to preserve, learn, and monitor your data. You don't even have to think about your personalized data being available to you on every other device you use after you sync everything.

Benchmark Testing for .Net Data Access Methods
When it comes to speed and data management in the digital market it may be difficult to parse which areas of an application will need improvement or updating. But there are many sides to the technology, design, and solutions that work to maintain accuracy as demand fluctuates. In this post, I’ll explore a comparison of testing data access speeds to determine what the best strategy can be, based on the outcome. Processing sensitive information throughout a large framework requires not only speed but capacity and flexibility within the architecture. To provide a more accurate understanding of improved data processing for a client’s application, I performed a benchmark to compare different data access methods to reach a client’s databases.
