Is your business ready to move to the cloud?

Cloud Infrastructure.

What is Cloud Computing? You may be asking yourself. Cloud computing, often simply referred to as “the cloud,” is the on-demand delivery of IT resources with pay-as-you-go pricing, offered to enterprises and businesses in the form of web services. A cloud platform allows instant access to low cost, scalable, and flexible IT services.

Instead of embarking on large hardware investment, and the cost of maintaining physical servers and data centers, companies can purchase the exact type and size of resources they need and can, avoiding the expensive burden of not only maintaining the hardware but also patching the software running on it.

This is simply to purchase on an as-needed bases from a could provider lime Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud. Having been first into the space, AWS provides the most extensive range of solutions and services far ahead of their competitors. Cloud providers offer highly scalable, reliable low-cost services to companies across the world.

Open new horizons of efficiency and productivity.

The hosting of web applications in the cloud allows the user to access them from anywhere through a secure login, via desktop, laptop, and mobile devices.

The Cloud Application Hosting is compatible with all major operating systems, including Apple, Microsoft, Google, and others. Whether you are using a public, private or a hybrid cloud platform, your applications will be secure through a multi-channel protection.

Not only does it allow you to work from anywhere, but it also improves scalability and minimizes your server storage, reducing costs without limiting access.

We implement systems on a secure platform in the cloud for the number of users that your company needs. However, without the help of an MSP this can be a full-time job.

The more software in the cloud, the more permission requests you will get, and it will be more difficult to manage users. We handle all this on your behalf so that these tools aren’t a burden and you can use them to drive your business.

Who should be using Cloud Computing?

Due to its scalability and flexibility, cloud computing can be used by enterprises and businesses of all sizes, from local retail shops to global corporations.

Enterprise-scale users contribute with a relatively small percentage to cloud providers compared to smaller companies and startups, which also benefit by migrating to a cloud-based platform, or slowly moving individual pieces of the application or infrastructure into the cloud to obtain insights into their usage patterns and on which of the pricing models best suits their utilization.

With the pay-as-you-go model, startups and small to medium-sized businesses can dip their toe into cloud computing to get to realize its value.

Is Your Business Ready to Move to the Cloud?

By now you know that the cloud isn’t going away any time soon. In fact, cloud computing has become a natural step in business growth, thanks to the numerous (and continually growing) benefits. More and more applications are coming out in web-based form and staff are exceptionally comfortable with this type of change. So when is the right time to move your business computing to the cloud?

Many businesses are facing this question now that cloud computing has become a mainstream norm. After all, you’ll be able to roll out new apps in days, not weeks, and nobody ever says ‘no thanks’ to increased security and efficiency. Like any strategic business decision though, timing is everything. Here’s how to assess your need before you make the switch:

1. Age of servers and workstations

If your workstations and servers are reaching their end of life and a large capital investment is coming up, you’ll be able to minimize the expense by moving to the cloud. You may even be able to skip certain upgrades completely. Your staff will still need devices to access the cloud data, but you’ll have a lot more flexibility in your choice and they won’t need to be as powerful. This can be a huge cost saving made in just moments.

2. Need for remote and mobile access

Many businesses are growing while on the move, with a mobile workforce needing to access files from anywhere at any time. This could range from moving around the one location, between offices or even working from home. Forget frustrating connections and lost productivity, cloud computing allows staff to work securely and efficiently from any location with internet access.

3. Current support setup

If your business currently outsources all your network management, you’re perfectly suited for the move to cloud computing. Network maintenance and monitoring becomes a non-issue, handled 24/7 as part of your cloud service. Network efficiency just keeps rising too, as your cloud provider is always improving their systems. You’ll find problems are fixed before you knew they existed, and server downtime becomes a thing of the past.

4. Need for predictable IT costs

If it feels like IT costs can spiral out of control at times, challenging your budget and patience, cloud computing will seem like a dream come true. When you make this shift, you’re moving from a capital expense to an operational one – server and system replacements are no longer your concern. You’ll be able to budget for IT costs in advance, knowing no blowouts are hiding around the corner. Monthly costs are known and (usually) capped based on what you use, leaving your cash flow much relieved.

Today’s cloud computing is more advanced, secure and priced more competitively than ever before. At its core, cloud computing is purely about doing things better, and it can have a massive impact on your profits, productivity and even staff satisfaction rates. If your business requires a robust, always available infrastructure with easy monthly costs, it’s time to take a serious look at your cloud computing options.
