What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing offers a convenient and accessible way of managing your company’s data. The term “Cloud Computing services” refers to storing your data outside your physical location, accessible over the internet from anywhere. With cloud services, your applications, servers, databases, and software are stored offsite and available in “cyberspace,” giving you full access from any location or device with an internet connection. Cloud desktops are an affordable, secure way to keep teams nimble, budgets manageable, and security tight for millions of businesses across the country. Opting for cloud computing is a wise alternative to housing all your company’s data on a big server physically located in your space, requiring maintenance, hardware upkeep, and increased utility costs to power and cool. Cloud computing services are just as secure, fast, and customizable as a dedicated physical server. The only difference is that your data is stored in a virtual space that your cloud host manages, instead of a big piece of equipment that exists solely at your location. Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure (our cloud partner), and Amazon Web Services are all examples of cloud computing hosts. CloudSmart IT partners with Microsoft Azure for cloud computing. As your managed IT services partner, we can help your business move all of your data to the cloud, manage your network, and access your Azure Virtual Desktop from anywhere.
In what ways can Cloud Computing assist my business in lowering IT expenses?
Choosing Cloud support services is a decision made by companies of all sizes, driven by various considerations. Cloud solutions, over the last decade, have transformed into an indispensable tool, assisting businesses in staying flexible, reducing costs, and staying competitive in their industries. Shifting your services to the cloud removes the financial burden of acquiring hardware and software. Additionally, the necessity for racks of servers and constant electricity for power and cooling becomes obsolete. Moreover, the need for in-house IT experts to manage the infrastructure is eliminated.
How can Cloud Computing help improve productivity?
Removing your on-site or hosted data center will relieve your IT team of necessary management tasks. These include software patching, hardware set up, and systems monitoring time. Cloud services remove the need for many of these tasks so your team can spend more time achieving more important business goals.
Considering the reliability advantages of Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing streamlines data backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity, making them more cost-effective by enabling data to be mirrored at multiple redundant sites on the cloud provider’s network. Most cloud computing services are provided on demand, empowering businesses to provision substantial computing resources in minutes. This flexibility is achieved without the need for capacity planning, ensuring you receive the right amount of IT resources exactly when needed.
